Fundamental questions arise on whether we truly require privacy. One might question the necessity of privacy, thinking, “Why would someone like me need to hide something? Am I a criminal or a celebrity?”. However, there are genuine reasons why anyone should be entitled to confidentiality, regardless of their status. Privacy is a fundamental right and a matter of personal liberty. As privacy activists assert, it’s about ”liberty versus control”. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy.

Yeah, you can literally type in anyone's email address and find a good 2-5 passwords they've used. Nothing on the internet is safe or ever will be, unfortunately. Almost every single huge corporation has lost tons of data on its users, which can lead anyone to figure out way more information than they should about someone.
