# What is privacy
I don’t believe in privacy - I think watch dogs puts it best “privacy is so 2010”. Because everything is tracked, everything I say is kept safe somewhere. The government can look at what I do at any time, the Chinese can take all my data. Yes, it would be nice to have privacy but on the other side. I don’t really feel like I don’t have privacy, does that mean that just because it feels like you have privacy you do? No, I still now I don’t have any. But as that young person I am, I don’t really care. Privacy is for the old generation
