🌊 A Wish for Internet Privacy & Ethics 🌊

May the internet remain a sanctuary of human privacy,
where data belongs to its creator, not to corporations.
May every website respect the visitor's dignity,
tracking nothing but kindness, collecting nothing but trust.
May we build a web where honesty is the default,
privacy is the right, and ethics guide every line of code.

🤍 For a future where technology serves humanity, not the reverse 🤍
