privacy international's "why privacy matters"

often times i just share things i think are funny because we generally have a soft spot for humour and as human beings we are prone to sharing humourous things. this isn't funny, in fact it's quite serious and thought provoking, but i still feel compelled to share it and i'm sure others will too.

memes aren't always about making you laugh, even though that seems to be the dominant form of memetic expression online.

also, the privacy international site where this came from seems to have some great stuff on it so you should definitely check it out.
