in my case, personally, the consequences of losing privacy are… just losing privacy itself.

losing the consent on my content to be here or there, before or after,

losing freedom of what i do share and what not,

losing my right to be forgotten,

losing my right to change because people will push the impression they take from my data one day (“you say that, but back then you said this very different thing”, and shove it to you, like a Black Mirror episode),

losing my right to change, select or delete the data i shared,

losing the right not to be doxxed, harassed,

my data being leaked or used for comercial purposes, especially medical, which has already helped corruption in the medical and pharmaceutical industry,

losing the right on my image, my identity, because many people think our shared data can define us, that our shared data is a “mirror” of us, a “digital” instance of us, when it’s just a “pirated copy” of us via social engineering, by hacking consent and personal boundaries.

that data is a very corrupted and selective backup or screenshot taken of us one day, we should be able to change that data or make it not to exist in first place by default.

no matter how paranoid, abstract or crazy these arguments may sound (but sorry if i cause discomfort),

i just think it’s a human right we all should have by default, and then, voluntarily give away or not, in a selective and stoppable way.

in my case, i just don’t want to share info about myself that happily. this applies to megacorporations, but to normal people too.

i know data is the price for using “free” services, but… i just don’t find any service it’s really worth it.

(just my opinion, of course, no mean to force my view on anybody or smth).

in my country, i was asked for my ID card, credit card or maybe (i don’t remember this one) driver’s license.

i think it was the algorhythm those weeks randomly flagging videos as age-restricted, or my account as suspicious or something.

ikr? some years ago, a classmate laughed at me for not wanting to give my credit card to Google to watch a YouTube video with age restriction.

he called me “conspiranoic”, “hysterical” and stuff, and i was just like “why do i have to give my credit card to watch a freaking video?”.

he was the typical “i don’t have anything to hide” guy. he said “it’s not a big deal, they already have lots of info about us, why do you care at this point lol”.

and i am ashamed i got influenced by them and days after, when that restriction appeared again for other videos i searched myself, i ended giving my credit card number.

and he was like making fun of it, like “see? i was right and you did it”.

damn, he was so annoying.

(sorry for this, pal. it was just to say that people gladly share their data to mega corporations, and press us to do the same by calling us conspiranoic).

that’s very sad, i’m sorry.

one may feel unsupported because others don’t have enough courage to leave Reddit, leaving you alone with this, which perhaphs is more difficult than moderating r/Piracy without mods.

Might even feel outrageous if they joined later only in case Lemmy is a success thanks to the people here, but i don’t know.

i find you people very brave and forward-looking, thank you all for your effort <3

aa, thank you for replying and confirming! :)

hello, comrades. thanks a lot for your effort. just to be sure, is this community maintained by the same staff from r/Piracy? i deleted my Reddit account months ago and i can’t check it out myself… ^^U
