In favor of privacy, but not as a right

I don't really believe in "rights". I believe in assurances granted by others, and when those others happen to be governments, whether it's a "right" or a "law" matters little to me. But other conceptions of "rights", don't buy it. If you try to argue some rights are objective, or even self-evident, I don't buy it even harder.

I still think many (though not all) the things I supposedly have rights to are nice to have, though, but not for the circular reason that rights are good.

When it comes to privacy, I generally fall into the "none of your/my damn business". There are many things I or you simply don't need to know, and I'll get ticked if you start trying to learn those things, and I'll understand if you get ticked in the other direction. For instance, say you're visiting my blog, and my blog asks for your browser to share your location (which may be from a phone, and thus very accurate). This is none of my damn business, I'm not trying to serve you software that makes use of mapping, something whose business legitimately is interested in your location.
