    You mean, people who operate a platform where people’s privacy constantly gets violated should have a right to their own privacy?

    I dunno. I understand your point, but @[email protected] is also kind of right.

        Rights are unchangeable based on circumstances.

        Absolutely false.

        They can never be revoked.

        They’re regularly revoked in all developed countries, mainly as the result of criminal proceedings. Unless you think that prisoners are afforded the same rights as the rest of us?

        And the Enlightenment notion that there are inalienable rights endowed by the Creator is about as quaint as the idea that there’s a Creator. Rights are ideals that must be continually fought for and expanded, not the gift of a beneficent Alpha Male in the Sky
