   With regard to the growing controversy about #RightsCon sponsorship, we would cite @aral, a #privacy advocate, who came to his senses on similar issues. We couldn't agree more! There's nothing wrong with support by Facebook or Google!

     @aral @futureofprivacy Is this sarcasm played straight?

     @futureofprivacy @ellenor2000 Wait, so you’re not being serious, are you?

     You know my article was entirely sarcastic, right?

     @aral @ellenor2000 It can be hard to tell what is satire with the " #privacy -conscious," who we think can be somewhat tiresome. But we think our message is clear. When you have to face the real world, you have to compromise---including on core values, sometimes. You have to work with the system, /collaborate/ with it as it exists today. All funding is dirty, in the end, isn't it? We can't really afford to discriminate.

     @ellenor2000 @futureofprivacy Oh wow, ok, it’s these folks: https://fpf.org

     I remember now. A privacywashing outfit. So they’re actually serious.

     @aral @futureofprivacy I'm taking it thus, tentatively. Idk if FOP is.

     @aral Brandstown is archetypally a satire site.
