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.

    If you have kids, then people know you and your partner had sex, but would you want a video camera or audience to watch you two have sex each time? People might easily see you are over-weight, but would you want those fat-pics of you posted in your office or for all of your neighbors to see - or do you feel better that your sags and bags are somewhat concealed under clothes? I eat junk food sometimes, but if there are too many containers of junk food in the trash can, i take it out before roommates see what a pig I’ve been. Many people admit to family and friends to sometimes watching porn, but few of us want people to see the exact content we watch.
