Most of the time the reason that people want to be private is to stop mainstream tech companies from gathering their data to use for targeted ads. But I’m kind of cuirous to see what are others motives for wanting to be private online.

    First that would be a wonderful world. But even without malicious intent. If privacy doesn’t exists as a consequence everything would be public. Whether that’s online or not is not relevant. Let’s assume I’ve fallen in love with someone. And let’s say I’m not ready to share it with everyone but just a couple of friends maybe even online. It’s obvious that I want to have control both online or offline who to share it with.
