Yeah, definitely don’t want to be defeatist, but I don’t see transitioning our lives off the internet as defeatism.
There are things you can do to help privacy online, and everyone should do those things. I just think the default mindset should be “if it’s on the internet, it’s likely not private”, and adjust their interactions with it accordingly.
I don't think getting offline is defeatist. I was saying people that hear things like that often become defeatist. As if privacy is a boolean. Either you use a phone or the Internet or you have privacy. Privacy isn't yes/no. If people can disconnect I don't consider that defeatism.
