relationships need to have a value on individual freedom & choice to flourish & grow & so do communities. Privacy is not bad in relationships, if based on choice. I love the net, but recently was disappointed to find that some of the big companies are trying to demolish privacy. The word ‘private’ comes from the late 14c Latin privatus “set apart, belonging to oneself” (not to the state), used in contrast to publicus, communis. There seems to be a risk that these companies are brainwashing us into thinking that privacy is no longer needed as a result of social media but surely we are smarter than that? Is this really not a ploy to turn the tide in their favor so that they can have more power & make more money (not that any of the culprits really need to have any more power or money than they have already?)
