Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I'm big into privacy and its not so much about an entity knowing stuff about me personally, but rather the entity knows stuff about everyone and weaponizes it against me.

Political efforts to get citizens to vote against their own self interests or suppressing votes of those who don't fall in line.

Fueling hate machines to distract citizens with infighting so they don't focus on those hoarding wealth and power.

Controlling access to content that those in power see as "harmful" (to them).
