I’m fed up trying to talk about privacy to my friends! Every time I start to talk about privacy they go “Are you a terrorist!” , “What are you hiding?” , “Are you a pimp”. This has happened way so many times that I gave up trying to talk privacy entirely to my friends. But, privacy is one of my main interests, it’s kind of like my hobby. One of the few things that I like and am passionate about is privacy. Since I didn’t have a social group to talk about privacy I created one on Matrix! I created a Matrix space called “Intimadad Amigos” (means ‘privacy friends’ in Spanish- And, nope! Before anyone asks I’m not Spanish. I was looking for a name for the space and thought this one was cool). Here you can talk about all things privacy such as civil liberties, OpSec, Netsec, politics and philosophies involving privacy without exposing your real identity with like minded people. I’m pretty sure many would have faced this where they can’t freely discuss privacy without getting put down or getting nagged with unending questions about whether they are a terrorist. So I hope this space will be beneficial to you. Feel free to join and grab your like-minded friends along with you! Happy socializing!

    Link is not working.

    Sorry! I’m still new to Matrix so I’m still figuring out stuff. I’ll check what to do and post the new link here.

    But maybe that’s because I’m from Germany. Here the concept of privacy is something most people like,

    Yeah, being from the EU might be helpful to you since more people are aware of the importance of data privacy thanks to laws like GDPR. But where I live the concept of privacy is alien. Privacy is taboo here and trying to achieve physical privacy itself will be frustrating don’t even get me started on the digital side.

      I was just thinking, maybe this is a point you can bring up to friends that this concept is much more normal in the EU. I mean as long as they are not utterly racist they cant call an entire continent Terrorist or anything, right? Maybe it kinda brings in some new perspective. I don’t know.

        Or they could go with the good old “if you sacrifice privacy for security you will have neither” - Benjamin Franklin
