This is why privacy is a flawed concept and not something we should cherish as much as we seem to. It&#x27;s an eggshell defense. It creates the illusion of security, but once breached, it can make things much worse than before you had it.<p>It&#x27;s much more challenging to figure out how to achieve security with an open system, but once you do, you don&#x27;t have liabilities like this.
