> That’s true, but consider the example of small towns: just like what you’re suggesting, there are no secrets.

Are you suggesting that small towns where everyone knows everyone and people gossip a lot (for better or for worse) are equivalent to communities where a sysadmin knows everything everyone does on the internet?

I'd say that it's like a small town where the Sheriff knows just about everything that happens.
