You'll get over cameras in the bathroom?
You should be able to collect any data you want, and use it however you want?
Why not start a business face-recognizing people who show up at battered women's shelters and selling access online for $50?
Or how about completely legally standing a public street and making notes of the schedules of when people are and are not home, and selling access to that to probable burglars, should that also be legal?
The use of information can and should be regulated. Everything from insider trading to medical privacy.
- msellout 11y agoPeople's opinions are remarkably malleable. Read some accounts of how soldiers change during and after fighting. Watch how the audience acts at a rock show. Check out the people on a nude beach vs the sidewalk just off the beach. Normal and acceptable is entirely situational. Walking in the street was normal. After the ad campaigns of the auto industry, we call it jaywalking. I'm all for regulating (mis)use of information, but not the collection of information.
