We both know I'm legally allowed to have you watched in public in such a way that you would never know, and yes, I would legally be able to collect all that data; in fact, legally I'd be allowed to even listen to what you said.
Questions relates to how tech has changed this and it's clear it has.
Until there's one set of rules for expectations related to privacy, it will be exploited by anyone able to do so.
- tptacek 10y agoYou're not responding to Rayiner's point. AT&T's customer records don't become "your data" simply by dint of being responses to "your actions", any more than security footage becomes "your data" by the same mechanism. It seems untenable to me that all rights to privacy in our metadata are entirely subverted by their being owned by telecom companies. It's not as if I'm arguing that warrantless access to metadata is a good thing. But there must be a better argument than "this feels wrong".
