This is a tough one for me. I'm pro-privacy, but I'm also pro-sane driving habits.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies and some constructive DMs. You brought up a lot of things I needed to consider that my lighthearted comment and thoughts behind it ignored. Privacy is and should be a fundamental right. This comes before the right to drive aggressively or defensively. Privacy should be non-negotiable.

I'm going to leave this comment up because I believe it is a teachable moment. I have reevaluated my position, and I am wrong. Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

And just because I think people that are brave enough to reevaluate their stand points are awesome, I'm following you (not stalking🤣) on Lemmy moving forward.

I genuinely hope there were more people like you.

Edit: I had no idea I could not follow people here. That goes to show how ignorant I am 🤣🤣🤣.
