Most people do not hate technology.

They hate being watched by tools that were supposed to help them.

The problem is not innovation.

The problem is power moving quietly through every app, device, policy, and “service improvement.”

A politician who supports privacy will limit surveillance power, even when it helps their side.
A compromised one only opposes surveillance when the other party controls it.
That is the difference between principle and branding.

It happened again. Germany is pushing a social media ban for minors, using "teens support it" framing the data doesn't back up. Skewed headlines justify age verification and mass data collection. A VPN helps you access services without ID.

Most people do not want to “hide.”
They want to live normal lives without every app, device, provider, and platform turning their behavior into a profile.
Privacy is not paranoia.
It is the right to exist without being constantly measured.
