1. Do you care about your privacy?
I absolutely do.
2. Do you avoid sharing things online to increase your privacy?
Frequently.
3. What do you think of the argument: "I've got nothing to hide anyway."
It's completely false. EVERYONE has something to hide, or at least something they don't want others to know, that can potentially be used against them. This could often be your complete medical or financial history, for example.
4. What do you think is the worst that can happen with your personal information?
-Having my identity stolen and huge amounts of debt run up in my name.
-Having my personal information be used to deny me employment in a job.
5. How do you use other people's information online?
I typically try not to.
6. What would happen if Google was bought by a Chinese company?
Bad Things™
7. Do you think that ISPs should be forced to do deep packet inspection on your data, to combat child porn?
Nope.
8. Do you think that ISPs should be forced to retain data for over a year? To combat terrorism.
No. "Combatting terrorism" is a specious argument to begin with, and has led to nothing but the erosion of privacy and personal rights across the board over the last ten years.
9. Do you ever think about the fact that a great number of repressive regimes would have never imagined the vast wealth of private information people are currently freely sharing online?
No, but it's a terrible thought to contemplate.
