"Privacy is too important to let it wither. Who you are and what you do is nobody's business. You are not a product to be turned into data and fed to predators for a price. You are not for sale.
You are a citizen, and you are owed privacy. It's your right.
Privacy is how we blind the system so that it treats us impartiality and fairly. It's how we empower our citizenry. It's how we protect individuals, institutions, and societies from external pressures and abuse. It's how we mark out a space for ourselves in which we can freely relax, bond with others, explore new ideas, and make up our own minds."

It's that time of the year when you have a bit of bandwidth to update a gazillion (va. 250) accounts to new email aliases:

Today was a good day, so much that the alias service has rate limited me hahahah.
