Your digital privacy, biological privacy, and personhood are not separate things. Any constitutional rights we lose regarding the former (e.g., backdoors on encryption) will constitute precedents for the erosion of our rights to the latter. Remember, your thoughts are just data…

@aral
and what about vax passports? those are fine too?

@falgn0n Dude, go bark up some other tree. In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a bloody pandemic on and people are dying. Yes, there are huge privacy concerns and huge concerns about states and corporations (like Palantir) capitalising on this crisis to further systems of surveillance and control. But fuck me if I’m going to get into it with an anti-vaxxer right now!

I don't know why I thought you were one of the smart ones ...
