don’t worry, normal people will never ever see this data to use it against the powerful.

our public data can only be seen by billionaires and cops, not us.

it can be used against us, but never the other way around. the faster we realize this, the faster we can move out of our “divisive” phase and get back to making billionaires dreams come true.

Indeed - but as compute costs come down, it doesn't have to be that way - ultimately there are 8 billion eyes out there.

There are also public data examples - for example the public data on charter flights or ship locations had people like Elon Musk bleating about privacy.
