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.

I want to be able to speak freely without getting fired or kicked out of a rental (home). Also, I’d like to help those braver than me hide. If 5,000 of us use privacy tools, yet only 100 of those are of interest to authorities (I am hoping not for sick sh+t), then the rest of us help those persons hide. They get lost in a sea of people, lost in the crowd. So often, throughout history, people who go against what authorities want are the ones who help save humanity (they are freedom-fighters), so I want to help them do so.
