I would prefer that we apply the idea to elected legislators. Our privacy laws would be overhauled overnight if they were routinely spied on by the general public using metadata that is supposedly so harmless that it doesn't require a warrant. We might even get a 28th amendment to update the 4th.
- harryh 10y agoThe argument that metadata on you can be acquired my law enforcement without a warrant is not that it's harmless. It's that it isn't your data. You are mischaracterizing the legal justification.
- nxzero 10y agoLaws are not magic or inherent, but what people agree to. There's no reason to believe meta-data shouldn't or couldn't be owned by the entity it was created for.
