       So many tech bros are coming at me right now arguing that yes, in fact, Windows users or Facebook users don't deserve privacy.Busting out the bold markdown for this: you're wrong.Everyone deserves privacy.

       "If you use Facebook, you know what they're doing."I don't care. You still deserve privacy. Full stop.

       @veronica Facebook users deserve privacy, but not on Facebook.Facebook is a tool for sharing your life publicly. Why should you expect privacy from a tool whose entire purpose is public exposure? And how would that even work?You really shouldn't try to mix private and public communications on the same platform. It will never work. :shrug:

       @feldI mean, that's kind of an absolutist statement. IIRC Facebook has privacy features. Whether they actually work as advertised or not is one thing, but the fact remains that they advertise it. So you do kind of have an expectation that they, y'know, work.@veronica

       @light Let's step back for one second.Walk up to someone on the street and tell them you have this amazing new cell phone service. They'll be able to communicate with their friends and family (or anyone, really) for free. Completely free. They'll never get a bill.You know what they'll say?"What's the catch?"You give people the same offer but it's social media and their brain shuts off

       @veronica It's like saying that those using Apple computers they don't deserve having the right to run the software they want instead of what Apple allows.

       @Fedihacker people literally tell me that, in the comments, every single day of my life.
