I know I don’t speak for everyone, that’s why you didn’t find a single opinion or generalization in my comment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But if you want my opinion I think this is exactly the way they should be protesting right now. High visibility, on ‘the doorstep’ of the governmental buildings, non violent (unlike some other protests we’ve had lately by other groups) and only inconveniencing others.

Most Dutch people don’t like what these activists are doing.

blocking access to one of our biggest cities and one of the most beloved beaches

Yeah because the only way to get to Scheveningen is to take that small piece of highway? How about any of the other ways leading into or around The Hague? They aren’t blocking access to The Hague or Scheveningen, there isn’t one singular road in or out.

It’s quite likely that our Parliament will pass a law similar to the UK to criminalize the blocking of infrastructure.

Don’t pretend to speak for the rest of our country because you obviously don’t and don’t dramatize the blockage of a small section of ‘highway’ in the middle of a city as being a blockage of access to the entire city.

Yeah but if I were to meet someone new in person, I’d tell them my name. If I meet someone new on the internet where I have a handle, I wouldn’t want the company of the site I am using to actually know my real name. That doesn’t make my name a secret, more something private to me and those I choose to share it with. If a website then correlates my handle to my other behavior on the internet and finds say my name via Amazon shipping info or whatever, then that’s a violation of my privacy, not secrecy.

Maybe a name isn’t the best example, idk, but there’s an apparent distinction between something secret or private imo.

My name is not secret, lots of people know my name. My name is private, I want to share it with the people I want to share it with, not with everyone on the internet/every corporation I interact with.

I think that’s why data collection falls under the ‘privacy’ instead of ‘secrecy’ category for the most part.
