Comment on The balance of security and privacy sounds weird when privacy IS security.

There’s overlap but they are different concepts.
Security is about protecting all assets, tangible or not. Privacy is really about protecting personal and/or identifiable information.
Security is a part of privacy.
For example, you may block cookies in your browser. That is a privacy measure, but not really a security measure.

You say that right up until a tracking cookie links some accounts together that otherwise weren’t and some nut job buys your data from a data broker and comes to your house to kill you.
