I have a friend who went down the privacy rabbit hole and came to this conclusion.

Sorry.

That privacy is dead and there's no point trying.

Yeah, I have friends that have that attitude but they didn't go down the rabbit hole. They just don't care. I think that's most people and they say that as cope.

I think its generational as well.

I'm constantly having to remind my zoomer kids things like "use a fake name for that..." etc.

As an aside, I'm also constantly surprised how people think you are legally required to use your real name on every form you encounter on the internet.

Some people say there's no point because they don't want to care because that involves thinking and effort, therefore they rationalize the path of least resistance by saying "privacy is dead there's no point trying"

Your friend did not go down the rabbit hole of privacy. You simply don't come back if you really understand and put things in practice. It's like going back to fiat after understanding bitcoin, it can't happen.
