My updated article on why privacy matters:
https://write.privacytools.io/freddy/why-privacy-matters-even-if-you-have-nothing-to-hide
The old article had a lot of views (around 12k), though this updated version has over 41k. That's nuts.
Of course someone else posts it onto reddit and gets 2k upvotes and a platinum award.

@freddy Couldn't find the edit button! Please fix:
"...fundementally flawed."
"...arest people planning ..."
"...a lot can be acheived"
"...your rigths under GDPR..."
"...reagardless of who you are..."
@meisam my proof reading is awful, thanks for this!
@gabriel not the end of the world though 😐
@freddy on the upside, it is driving people to your wonderful blog and they will be reading from the source. Just a shame you're not also getting the Reddit traction on your profile. 😞
also put it onto HN
