It's interesting to look at? I don't think most people looking at the leaks are trying to profit (exception of people exploiting people based on the data). Ad systems however, are always looking at the data as a way to increase profits.
- whywouldyou 11y agoSo violating people's personal privacy is okay if it's interesting to look at? I guess people who put hidden cameras in bathrooms feel the same way as you.
- livingparadox 11y agosubie didn't claim it was okay. It was just a guess at the implied question in "I'm not sure what compels people to download and look at any of these leaks."
- subie 11y agoNo, I'm saying the person who did the leak or placed the camera did the breach of privacy. You want to say everyone looking at is also breaching the privacy. I'd say they are simply looking at the result of a breach not committing another one. "There's a real dichotomy between the mostly universal opinion on here that ad tracking is a terrible evil, but downloading and investigating people's private data that was illegally obtained and distributed is okay." What differs between these two is that the ad system is the person placing the camera, watching the video and distributing. The interested person is simply watching the video. Sure that doesn't seem fair to the victim but if they are not trying to exploit the victim I don't think it's a problem.
