Privacy is a human right that should be granted to everyone, no matter the reason. That being said, it's also important to remember that for millions of people around the world, data privacy is crucial for physical safety. For people in extreme situations, privacy can literally mean life or death.
Not just a human right, but a requirement. For many of us in developing countries, privacy is nonnegotiable, without it, they’d be persecuted or even executed. Advocating for privacy saves thousands of lives.
