Great essay, does a really great job of pointing out how condescending a lot of privacy advocates can be, and how using the socratic method is a much better way to get people to think about privacy.

I also want to add this related and wonderful essay that critiques how richard stallman does this, and also sees privacy and free software problems as individual problems requiring individualistic solutions, rather than collective ones requiring a unified approach.

Great essay, I think it deserves its own post.

Hope you don't mind if I post it. I'm sure it'll generate some great comments from fellow Lemmynauts, and I'd love to read them, especially after reading the comments on the article.
