That’s a reasonable shift. The comic does a good job showing that privacy isn’t a pure good or bad it’s powerful in the right places and destabilizing in others. It invites nuance rather than forcing a side.

Yeah, I've sort of moderated my extreme pro-privacy cypherpunk beliefs I used to have a few years ago, and to something more nuanced where it is essential in certain realms, but harmful in others.

Agreed.It works because it treats privacy as a system with real costs not a slogan. The ambiguity even sympathizing with the antagonist is what makes it memorable rather than preachy.
