Absurd.

And like, I get it to a degree. Sure, there are some shitty people online. And sure, some hide behind anonymity.

And there are also people who just don't want giant corporations harvesting data about them or who wish to keep their government out of their daily life, even when doing nothing at all wrong. And for them, there are people that all fall in between or wish to have privacy for various other reasons.

It's bizarre to me that wanting privacy can even ever be considered controversial. No one thinks that because you put up a privacy fence on your property that you're now running a automobile chop-shop or operating a meth lab in the back yard, now that the neighbors and passersby can't see in. Not sure why people assume the worse when people want digital privacy, as well. No one would demand all houses remove privacy fences so everyone can see their yards, which I think can be sort of an apt comparison to digital privacy.
