Wow, is surrendering all privacy in public a fair price to pay for the inconvenience of carrying a wallet?

- shpx 9y agoI was being facetious, sorry.
- nextstep 9y agoAh sorry, misunderstood.
- zo1 9y agoI'm perfectly fine with it. Including license-plate cameras on every street corner. 24/7 aerial surveillance and cell-phone tracking, too. Why do I need privacy, exactly? Sure, privacy from being spied-on without reason by random low-level government employees, sure. But I don't care about privacy from automated systems, or systems that are used in criminal investigations after the fact, or during the fact. Also, I'm fine not having privacy from detectives and criminal investigators that are investigating crimes. That distinction is an important one, though, and is usually lost in discussions of tech and privacy.
