The price of convenience is always high.

Sometimes it is justified, sometimes it is not.

However, trading basic privacy protections for “but it’s so easy” is how the dark times happen.

The price of convenience is always high.

Why? I do things that are inconvenient all the time. It's inconvenient that I have to go to work 5 times a week in order to make money. It's inconvenient that I have to get vaccinated so that my immune system is stronger. It's inconvenient to have to meditate for 20 minutes a day to make my thoughts less scattered. And so on.

They are not arguing that everything is convenient.

First they came for privacy

But it was so easy to use.
