# Daring Fireball: Online Privacy Should Be Modeled on Real-World Privacy - Host: [daringfireball.net](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/daringfireball.net/) - Saved: September 3, 2020 (2020-09-03T23:19:42Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d8e448a9870c/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d8e448a9870c.json ## What Jamie wrote This ad, and Gruber's writeup, reflect in part why I so actively defend myself against all these trackers. > Just because there is now a multi-billion-dollar industry based on the abject betrayal of our privacy doesn’t mean the sociopaths who built it have any right whatsoever to continue getting away with it. They talk in circles but their argument boils down to entitlement: they think our privacy is theirs for the taking because they’ve been getting away with taking it without our knowledge, and it is valuable. We, as a society and as a group of Internet citizens, never once agreed to this surveillance. There is no right for this type of activity to exist. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT155: Weekly Thing #155 / Menu Engineers, Halo, RFC8890](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/155/), Recommended Links ## Same host - [Daring Fireball: Dickhead of the Week: Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d1e4ad87d736/) (daringfireball.net, September 12, 2020) - [Daring Fireball: Facebook and the Group That Planned to Kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/00fed41c973b/) (daringfireball.net, October 15, 2020) - [Daring Fireball: The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/858713de9168/) (daringfireball.net, October 20, 2020) - [Daring Fireball: The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/16722230af19/) (daringfireball.net, November 12, 2020) - [Daring Fireball: One More Thing: The M1 Macs](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/da84182acb59/) (daringfireball.net, November 12, 2020) ## Saved the same week - [Leaders: You Must be Present to Win | Lee Zukor](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/368a5ac1707a/) (leezukor.com, September 3, 2020) - [Let's provide a 'pod' for every Minnesota learner who needs one | Star Tribune](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/869720c3bf55/) (startribune.com, September 3, 2020) - [How does the Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) algorithm work? - Digital Bunker](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b41964df6881/) (blog.digitalbunker.dev, September 3, 2020) - [Meet the "menu engineers" who optimize restaurant revenue](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ddba6b7933e8/) (thehustle.co, September 3, 2020) - [airtable-export: Export Airtable data to YAML or JSON files on disk](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/13d7e516ca98/) (github.com, September 3, 2020) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://daringfireball.net/2020/09/online_privacy_real_world_privacy
