Digital privacy is important, and it's important to be anonymous on the internet
I feel like this could go either way whether it's a boomer opinion or not. Real boomers are not very tech literate and probably don't have much of a notion of online privacy.
On the other hand for those that were adults in the early years of the internet, they likely think we're all giving away too much of our private information.
Boomers (my parents' generation) were telling us 90's kids how dangerous it was to put your information online, but then it seemed once social media happened they all forgot about such privacy concerns entirely. They were right the first time!
