Privacy != Security

We shouldn't be happy with the state of security on Linux, while simultaneously enjoying its privacy benefits.

For me privacy = security.

If a company has access to my data without my -completely voluntary- consent, that's a security breach.

  • That makes no sense. Equality is commutative and security is most certainly not privacy. There are certain areas where a decision may help in case of both (e.g. simply not storing unnecessary data will decrease the scope of a real vulnerability), but that's not even remotely the same thing.
