    So we have to care about our privacy on our own.

    I remember that that was definitely a very common statement in the 90's and into the early 00's. Unfortunately, the more the normal population got online the more that sentiment got ignored and drowned out.

    But to be honest, I don't see this particular issue to be a part of that sentiment. We're looking at a business we choose to do business with in good faith actively and secretly attacking the security of our computers in a manner unrelated to the business we are conducting with them. I've been a customer for a long time and I'm pretty pissed about it. Openbazaar has become pretty functional these days, I think I'll be looking there first next time I need something.
