As a social good, I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool other people about them. They want to appear healthier than they are, smarter, more honest and so forth.

  • -- Richard Posner 波斯纳

作为一种社会公益,我认为隐私被严重高估了,因为隐私基本上意味着隐藏。人们隐瞒事情是为了愚弄别人。他们想表现得比自己更健康,更聪明,更诚实等等。
