It's endemic of our anemic conceptualization of privacy that the DEA conflates "privacy" with the construction of a false identity.

I may give up my privacy, and let everyone have all my nude photos of me, but that doesn't mean others can create fake profiles of me online - with or without the nude photos.

We need a better, more structured definition of "privacy" and "identity," especially in the online sphere. If we don't define it, federal agencies are simply going to define it and normalize it for us.




We don't need better definitions. What we need is for the public to rise up against the tyrants who trample our rights.
