it’s a false dichotomy; the issue is not whether you do or don’t have something to hide, the issue is you choosing what you share and with whom.
the fact that I don’t blast the quality of this morning’s stool accross all my social media outlets doesn’t mean that I’m hiding it, it means that I choose not to share it.
that’s only my decision and I don’t allow my hardware, software, service provider, government, or whoever-the-fuck to make this decision for me.
You don’t choose what you share. Not sharing anything is now also a metric. There are so few people not sharing anything that it’s even a rather precise metric. And data brokers can easily build accurate profiles of people not sharing anything, because the governments, your ISP, and other companies you have to use, might already share your data (it’s safe to assume at least one does).
The whole point is: social awareness of this fact is absolutely abysmal, most people are made uncomfortable by this so they avoid this ugly truth as hard as they can, and a small very vocal minority of users has perfectly understood the problem at hand, but is so addicted to their tech, that they are willing to give and give up all they can to ensure their current level of digital comfort. Such users are often advocating in favor of big tech companies, even though it goes against their personal interest, but they have already long accepted to be slaves in exchange for fancy technology, and are trying to make that choice for the rest of us.

What about using the tor network and not sharing. Then that can make profile of us that will be anonymous. Until they figure more behavior and compared with our old data. At the end what can we do?
