"weren't doing your job right" and "had no intention to" are hugely subjective. Anyone with an axe to grind could go through your information and find whatever they need to twist the apparent meaning to prove that you weren't doing your job "right" and had no intention to. It's really easy to take information out of context and make it appear to mean something it doesn't.
- geggam 10y agoI guess that means you don't want to be a public servant exposed to public scrutiny ? That is part of the job.
- jfoutz 10y agoEh, maybe. Everyone with facebook has unfollowed that crazy relative that posts their political rants. I think the vast majority of people don't care about axe grinders. When something does come up, people can go see for themselves. There's also the issue of volume. Something like 1/3 of the us workforce is employed by government. Sure, there are crazy people out there. But they're going to be crazy anyway. I think this would make people take the crazy people even less seriously.
- jflatow 10y agoConsidering the government currently has the same power over citizens, I can't see how this argument holds up. Especially when the government is granted powers of total surveillance and mass hacking[1], there needs to be some accountability and balance of power.
