Kindness and patience are essential qualities for privacy advocates. To grow our movement, we must meet people from a place of camaraderie. People don't change their mind by being berated. However, this isn't true for institutions.

Accessibility is indispensable to inclusivity, and should always be a priority in our work. To make our privacy communities welcoming to all, accessibility cannot be an afterthought. We must integrate it in our practice from the start. This means making sure the languages, visuals, tools, and venues we use are accessible to as many people as possible.

Commercial social media platforms represent one of the biggest source of data exploitation. Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and X all exploit their users' data to generate billions in profit every year. By staying active on these platforms, we continue to feed the beast and indirectly support this invasion of privacy rights.

Privacy isn't just about the tools. It also isn't just about the laws. And it isn't just about the practices either. It's about all of that. To move our society in a place where everyone benefits from privacy by default, we must consider technologies, laws, and culture altogether.

Unfortunately, many people lucky enough to live in jurisdictions benefiting from such regulations often aren't aware of them, or of how to use them.

The privacy community is made of a patchwork of individuals, activists, organizations, and businesses that sometimes hold quite different views. These divergences can create conflict and friction at times.
|
||||
|
||||
While reporting falseness and abuse is important, when other differences lead to infighting, gossiping, competitive dunking, and organizations attacking others, we need to pause and ask how these internal wars are impacting negatively the community as a whole, both within and from an outsider's perspective.
