Rick Falkvinge, founder of the original Pirate Party, now living in Germany, has published four parts so far of series on analog equivalent privacy rights. He plans to have 21 parts in all. The series starts out early on with the point that there is no reason for the offline liberties of our parents to not be carried over into the same online liberties for our children and examines this point from different directions. So far he has posted in detail on the following topics over at Private Internet Access' blog:
- Our children should have the same rights as our parents
- The analog, anonymous letter
- Posting an Anonymous Public Message
- Our children have lost Privacy of Location
Rick will post more over the next few weeks. The current batch of adults and teenagers are likely the last generation to have any choice in the matter. Apathy and ignorance abound and deciding not to decide is still, sadly, a choice.

Believe it or not, you can STILL actually write a letter.
So, yes, while the state/corp collection of everything online is horrible and anti-society, the examples are a little odd.
It just takes some EFFORT to do.

Yep, I just mailed about 70 Christmas / Holiday cards, and wrote a short message in nearly all of them. Stamps have gotten a little pricey, but I'm convinced that the recipients appreciate the paper card -- if nothing else, most of them reciprocate. We have a high shelf, the cards that come in are lined up and make a nice holiday decoration.
