  • A shill is a member of a company or organization, or someone who is paid by a company or organization, to covertly advertise on their behalf while keeping their association and motivation a secret.

    There is no such thing as a “privacy shill”, you actually mean to say a “privacy promoter” or “privacy advocate”, because those on lemmy that post about privacy are open and honest about their motivation.

    Not everyone who is a promoter or supportive of something is a shill.
