Reply to comment by Tweetydabirdie in Court ruling: High earners can't prevent media accessing their tax data. by FINCoffeeDaddy
In America we have the right to privacy. What you make, donate to charity, pay in taxes, how many deductions you apply for, is - frankly - no one's business but you and the government.

We're the land of Facebook and Twitter, the country that is using social media to track down women getting abortions. The fact that you think we have a right to privacy here is hilarious.

Facebook and Twitter are private companies. If you think you are being tracked by them, you can stop using them.

Someone wasn't paying attention during the "Cambridge Analytica" debacle. It's not a question of "if" anymore. Period-tracking apps have been outed selling womens' cycle information. Google also tracks you, as does every other provider and appmaker. I haven't had anything but a reddit account for almost a decade now. They also track, but I don't want to quit the internet entirely.
Weird how it's suddenly about their rights to push their product into my face now instead of my right to privacy you were claiming I had earlier.

The government...which is a public institution. How you spend your money can be private but it is a little ridiculous to say that what you give to the government should remain private.

...in this very specific instance. And yet comparing others, it's abusmal. Like my favourite pet peeve of employer having rights to your communications/working with very little notice. We don't remove that privacy in Finland.
And based on experience there's comments on "well, they should have it" or whatever... is that so dissimilar?
