    I’ve always somewhat disliked single issue voters, only to become one and would vote for pro-privacy candidates… If any existed.

      You don’t have a pirate party in your country? Maybe you can start a local chapter

          Pirate party is a legitimate party in many countries. Its not a joke. They fight for human rights and data protection laws.

            Thank you for further context. I would love to see this spread. Privacy in the US is like smoking in the 50’s, we all know, but no one cares because the cancer hasn’t metastasized yet.
