If we make the world a safe space where the goal is to meet everyone's needs, then maybe we can live our lives openly and not have to worry about information being weaponized like this?


I like the principal; I have not yet figured out what to think about laws that concern “immoral” private behaviour such as “extreme” porn (any jurisdiction, the point isn’t any particular law — Japanese, USA, UK, Saudi — but the principle).

Even if all such laws were repealed, there would still be social consequences for violating taboos.


So just end all discrimination and stigma? That's just a little unlikely.

Even then there will be innocent things some would prefer not to share globally, or be used as a basis for profiling.
