Before the analog blackout, some phones had both radio and TV apps. They even came with an adjustable antennae.

Also: C-3P0 would let R2 die in a heartbeat if saving him was even a mild inconvenience. While AP-5 literally took a bullet for Chopper.

I think where privacy minded people fail to understand is that for most people we are not committing crimes or shady shit online therefore why care?

Yeah, I hate that argument (the typical “If you don’t have anything to hide, why should I worry”). Because you might not have anything to hide (debatable), but you know who does? Journalists, political activists, people in witness protection, people who suffered from domestic violence or human trafficking and need to hide, etc…

Don’t collectively erode people’s right to privacy, because there are people whose lives depend on it; and who knows, you might need it some day.
