Privacy and the Right to the Self | michiganstopsmartmeters

by Edward Snowden

“Privacy is the right to the self. Privacy is what gives you the ability to share with the world who you are, on your own terms. For them to understand what you’re trying to be. And to protect for yourself the parts of you you’re not sure about, that you’re still experimenting with. If we don’t have privacy, what we’re losing is the ability to make mistakes.

We’re losing the ability to be ourselves.”
