I shewd EFF's link to an English major. He responded, "Come now, they've been spying on us for years."<p>The big news is that in rationalizing it we will develop a schism across the class line. Many of us are so poor, unlike the ranks of the increasing elite, that we'd gladly sell our privacy for coin to eat.<p>Build the money machine faster. How else are we to build gittip for the homeless without anonymous coin ?<p>The worst case example is where freedom of privacy paradoxically conflicts with liberty from privacy (law), involving Twitter accounts like @NeedADebitCard.<p>I'm sure most senators simply react to such peculiar "rational economic behavior". Is it altruistic ? Is it a hoax ? Is it a honeypot ? Is it stupid ? How do you build a political-economy around this? Around communities that can print most of their toys at a local "3DPrintBox" ? And international mobile targeting hackers ?
