Privacy is a fundamental right though
And private yachts in the same category as private jets: transport in public space.
"Privacy for me, not for thee" means I, as a non-billionaire, get my privacy back before I give one iota about some billionaire not being able to hide a mistress on his super yacht.
Is it still a mistress if he can't get it up so she has to slurp it as best she can?
Calling her a cleaning lady seems more degrading than the situation is, to me.
And the billionaires like Zuckerberg that make a lot of money trying to track you everywhere you go on the internet or with your cellphone factor into that statement where?
You know they are not all the same person? Nevertheless even Zuckerberg has right to privacy, not to ours, but to his
When anyone else has an actual right to privacy I'll give a shit about Zuckerberg's -- who btw has done more to destroy privacy rights than perhaps any other human being in history -- "right to privacy".
I know who he his 🙄 It doen't change the fact that equalling all rich people to bad people is counterproductive. And human rights apply to all humans, except if what you mean by the lack of privacy ls that he should go to prision, to which I agree
Except the right to privacy isn't an enshrined human right at all and this particular asshole would lobby government to make sure that any effort to make it one would fall flat.
"Fundamental" is awfully subjective, though, isn't it?
Absolutely, I don't deny jt
