This post is not true.

A part of Ross Douthat's column I did not excerpt from the other day but have been thinking about is

this:

"Already, Silicon Valley big shots tend to talk about privacy in roughly the same paternalist language favored by government spokesmen. 'If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know,' Google’s Eric Schmidt told an interviewer in 2009, 'maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.'"

Or, do it all the time! Everyone do it! One man can be a suspect, Everyman cannot. Eric Schmidt's--and PRISM's--premise is "If you're attempting to hide it, it must be true."  So let's not (attempt to) hide information. And let's deliberately spread disinformation, like in the "liar's paradox." At least that's what I'm going to do.
