Did you know Eric Hughes’ 1993 manifesto gave us one of the clearest definitions of privacy: the power to reveal yourself selectively? It’s a reminder that privacy isn’t secrecy — it’s control over what you share, with whom, and when. That’s why cypherpunk ideas pushed cryptography, remailers, and other tools that let ordinary people speak and organise without constant watching.
