The point is that just because you, personally, do not experience a problem with shedding all of your privacy, it doesn't mean everyone should feel the same as you; it means you should feel very, incredibly, unabashedly grateful for the position of good fortune within which you've found yourself.

Don't imagine that "It works on my box" means the bug doesn't exist. It just means your box is unaffected.
