Beyond his weird obsession with this woman, this is just an embarrassing misunderstanding of what privacy means.

Privacy is not an all-or-nothing equation. It's about choosing WHAT you share and WITH WHOM.

This type of thing makes the assumption that if you care about privacy, you don't want any information about yourself out there ever. By that logic, if you share something personal or private, it negates any protests about other people sharing things without your permission.

But that's not how privacy works! Privacy is about being able to have control over who knows what about you. I may be fine telling everyone my preferences in Star Trek series. That doesn't mean I'm also fine with my health information being publicly posted.

It's similar to sexual consent. Agreeing that you want to do certain things with a certain person at a certain time does NOT mean you are fine with doing anything with anyone. That's not how consent works.

It's not how privacy works either.

I would chalk this up to him being disingenuous, but some people really have this understanding of privacy. It's incorrect, it makes no sense, and what is a privacy lawyer for if not correcting bad arguments.

(Also, dude, just leave her alone, you weirdo.)
