Privacy is a component of security. But so is assessing the likelihood of risk. I get what the other guy is trying to convey, but it’s asinine to pretend giving your banking info to a random individual is in the same ballpark as giving your browsing history to the company making your browser.
Yes, when it comes to sharing sensitive information publicly, I do care about privacy. Especially bank information - a regular bank statement could probably be exploited for identity theft - but it’s also nice to keep at least a little plausible deniability about who I am IRL (for employers and such).
When it comes to websites and browsers aggregating browsing history to use for advertising - which is what I was referring to in my original comment - no I don’t care.
Can I have your bank account username and password?
No
Why not?
Can I have your psychosexual profile and live gps coordinates?
Fish sadist, 47°9′S 126°43′W
Like, a sadist for fish? Or a sadist that is a fish?
A fish who is a sadist in his sexual relations with other fish obviously.
Yes
so you DO care about privacy.
That’s security, not privacy

It literally is privacy.
Awww, but understandable. Can I see your bank statements for the last 12 months?
No
So you do care about privacy!
