That is good. I've heard "convenience is the enemy of security" for years. Both are good and true.

> Complacency is the enemy of privacy.

This good saying, I will need to remember it.

privacy

How does one personally value Privacy and avoiding KYC?

Change your life style. Change everything you do if you feel that you have less and less privacy. Complacency is the enemy of privacy.

Do you live in a city? Move out to rural.
Do you work 9 to 5 for a corporation? Start your own independent business, be your own boss. You will work less, earn less but your life will be much free. More money doesn't mean you are more happy. More free time it means more happiness.
Especially if your actual job require traveling (you are forced to give up liberties) then you are a slave.
If you really have to travel, use a bike, a personal car, walk or share-riding.

Finally if you still feel overwhelmed by privacy violation, you will find your own way to do it like me: build your own homestead far away from so called "civilization". In other words... FUCK'EM'ALL.
