@Em0nM4stodon A mouse. Mice are everywhere, we are lost without them and they are portable. One day they will rule the world.

@Em0nM4stodon absolutely an armadillo. Hard outer shell that protects that soft, yet vital, under belly.
@Em0nM4stodon For privacy rights I would choose the porcupine. They’re cute but everything about them says KEEP OFF.
@Em0nM4stodon chameleon changes colour to avoid surveillance
@Em0nM4stodon Phasmids avoid predators by looking like leaves or sticks. Probably that, they even move with the air around them like a leaf would.
@Em0nM4stodon Hermit crab. It's not one size fits all, but we all help each other to get the rights that fit us at the time.
@Em0nM4stodon The rattlesnake. They are very good at warning you when you are too close for their comfort and then defending their space if you ignore them.
@Em0nM4stodon an embarrassed cat using the litter box - that face says “give me my privacy!” like no other 😂
@Em0nM4stodon trapdoor spider (you only know where/what I am when I reveal myself) or hermit crab (as I grow I find an appropriate shell, whatever form it takes, to protect myself)
@Em0nM4stodon Roly-poly / pillbug
@Em0nM4stodon
Since it's always a leapfrog between the privacy preservers and the privacy invaders, I'll go with the Pushmi-Pullyu.

@Em0nM4stodon I'm amazed how many good answers there are here with not a duplicate among them, nor the first that came to my mind
Is this a bikeshedding problem? xD
@Em0nM4stodon Cryptophyllium westwoodii
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptophyllium_westwoodii
Cause it looks like a leaf insteadof a bug 🤣 And it has crypto in its name 💡

The German Shepherd!
Loyal, protective, intelligent, eager to please, and a willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones.

@Em0nM4stodon the RockHopper Penguin because even tho we live in surveillance state, we have HOP using Linux and they kind of look punkish which I find totally awesome;
@Em0nM4stodon

Das große graue Schnüffeltier (Hans Scheibner) (The big grey sniffer)
@Em0nM4stodon
Maybe a tartigrade because they are almost indestructible.
@Em0nM4stodon A turtle. Or possibly our lord and savior Cthulhu.
@Em0nM4stodon Elephant due to irony.
Then when people judge me too hard, I would pick the salmon - specifically as part of a bait ball. No one is private until we all are private.
@Em0nM4stodon the timid hedgehog
@Em0nM4stodon pangolin is my entry. Can roll itself into an armored ball to protect from the outside world
@Em0nM4stodon Well if you'd asked a bird I would have said peacock.

- Polar bear🐻❄️: (or others snow camouflaging animal): They blend in in an environment that humans are destroying through their lack of regulations and actions. And they will mess you up if you get too close
- Platypus: they're weird and that's fine + unexpected venom
- Badger: They burrow and you should really leave them alone (+ we have PrivacyBadger)
- Some kind of burrowing snake or spider 🐍: They're definitely a toxic asset

@Em0nM4stodon Blind mole rat :P
@Em0nM4stodon Where's the poll? I was promised a poll.
Blobfish. We don't know much about them and when we do get them to the surface they are nothing like they are in their normal environment.
Possibly, some variant of an Octopus, weird, private, and impressive camouflage abilities.
@Em0nM4stodon Raccoons. They’re constantly wearing a mask.
@Em0nM4stodon a turtle, it has a shell!
@Em0nM4stodon That thing that becomes round. Can’t word today
@Em0nM4stodon
Octopus because of the ink, or something with camouflage, but the Octopus is probably easier to turn into an icon?
Maybe some small mammal living in a burrow but that also has negative connotations.
@Em0nM4stodon An owl. Ask it what it knows about anyone.
Who?
@Em0nM4stodon Meerkats? marmots?
@Em0nM4stodon
maybe Tullimonstrum , because it has proved so difficult to place in the family tree of life:

@Em0nM4stodon Bigfoot or Nessie.
Or some other less famous cryptid.
What's more private than never knowing for sure if something actually exists?
