    Privacy - Privacy is the state or condition of being free from public attention or unsanctioned intrusion, allowing individuals to control their personal information and maintain boundaries from others. It involves the right to keep one’s personal life, thoughts, and activities confidential, and to decide what information is shared and with whom. Privacy ensures protection from surveillance, interference, and misuse of one’s personal data, supporting autonomy and dignity in personal and professional contexts.

    I know y’all had a rough start growing up online, but that word really used to be important to us grey beards who watched all this online stuff unfold over the decades.

    Sometimes I wonder if the younger folks realize you don’t have to document your life on the internet.
