Okay, so I've slept on this for a couple weeks now.. and although I'm now well-slept, I'm still clueless as to how I could "fix" this paper. I'm afraid it's terminally flawed. The fatal flaw, as Prof. Moglen's red ink pretty well illustrates, is that the paper is dishonest. It's presented as logic, but withdraws to the comforts of satire where logic is unhelpful or inconvenient. But I can't just strip the paper down and rebuild it as logical, because that would bring me to the logical conclusion that privacy matters and I should care. And I've already married myself to the conclusion that privacy matters and I don't care.

 For my part, having a sanitized or inaccessible online history is bad. I don’t trust people with a totally clean record. It’s not because I suspect they’ve been hiding something, but that on balance, I find these people tend also to be super uptight. It makes sense: do you really want to elect, hire, or -- generally speaking -- entrust someone who has spent their entire post-adolescent life carefully nurturing their Internet persona so that it conforms to shared conceptions of good taste and morality? Having an online footprint, blemishes and all, is good because it indicates that you are who say you are, and you’re relaxed enough to let that broadcast to the world.
