privacy

Description

Privacy is the virtue of loudly demanding secrecy while indiscriminately broadcasting one’s life on social media. It’s the absurd habit of detesting prying eyes yet willingly scattering personal details. Claimed to be safeguarded by corporations and governments, yet its devotees mindlessly click “I Agree” on every privacy policy. Ultimately, privacy is a contradiction wrapped in a desire for personal space and a fear of being exposed.
