I’m telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it’s not

But their comment doesn’t say or suggest that.

and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

And they don’t say anything about the compromises except that they’d be used for spying on citizenry.

This isn’t my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I’d help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.
