I just look at it from a case-to-case basis.
I prefer not to generalize.
There are some forms of privacy that I'm more ambivalent to.
Some of us feel the need for more privacy than others.
With smart-phones and GPS devices, at least ppl have a choice to not obtain,
or throw them away if I feel they're not worth the hassle.
Ultimately it's a matter of personal choice.
I choose not to reveal a lot of personal info on sites such as Facebook/Zilvia for example.
Others probably don't mind, and that's their choice and comfort level.
The Patriot Act is different & offensive (to me at least) because there is no choice in the matter.
Laws like that is where I begin to feel very uncomfortable & draw the line.
I am willing to make some compromises with my government,
or the business I work with if I feel the effects are justified or not intrusive on a practical level.
