If we acknowledge contagion by imperfect security, then please acknowledge by law the right of entering false identites on facebook and false information by electronic means, as a means to protect our privacy.
- twblalock 11y agoWhy should there be a law about this? If you don't like Facebook's rules, you don't have to use it. Nobody is forcing you to get an account.
- CosmicHorrorSam 11y agoOH MAN. No, no, no. This is like saying, "Nobody is FORCING you to have a mailing address, if you don't like the Postal Service, just don't have an address!" Sure, you CAN do so, but if you do, you forego significant opportunities and can't make use of critical infrastructure if you do- and indeed in that example, there are places it literally is illegal not to have an address. Facebook is approaching that level of ubiquity and 'expectedness' in the U.S., at least. Please, please, please don't try to enforce the 'take it or leave it' mentality for ubiquitous software services. It is every person's right, privilege, and DUTY to complain vociferously when companies are stupid and implement stupid rules- hopefully resulting in the clarifying, changing, or removing of said stupid rules.
