"On Parenting & Age Verification" is the best piece I've read by @thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org . I'm honored to be referenced in it too!
https://ghost.thenewoil.org/on-parenting-age-verification/
It's a cohesive, coherent long read that is totally worth your time.

While the syllogism for "I have nothing to hide" is sound, it ultimately detracts from the argument of privacy as consent.

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.
https://theprivacydad.com/i-have-nothing-but-red-herring-to-hide/
This was written as a complement to @thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org recent blog post about the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument. You can read that here:

Good new article from @thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org about online dating:
https://ghost.thenewoil.org/email/522da9aa-eef2-4b1d-b4de-2546edc186d9/?ref=blog-newsletter
I liked this useful tip for when you are reading through privacy policies: "Some euphemisms you may want to note are things like "trusted business partners," "affiliates," or "personalized experience." This means they share your data with advertisers."

While the desktop experience has some room for improvement, the Ente Photos app on mobile is totally competitive with privacy-invasive alternatives.

While a child can appreciate the privacy-first goals of an app like Ente, features like customer service by mail and collaborative albums are less of a priority.
