Prying eyes are everywhere, from pesky younger siblings to the Patriot Act. What steps do you take to protect your privacy, on or offline?

Like most people, I use the incredible power of not doing anything worth invading my privacy for. It's dumb, but I don't really worry about people invading my privacy most of the time.

I actually censor myself a fair bit. First: I don't talk about atheism on Facebook (and don't link from Facebook back out to here), and second: I avoid giving other people's personal info (I might tell their anecdotes, but always anonymized, or give credit, but always anonymized).

If you do that, then you understand why privacy is important.
