To me, "Liking" something implies expressing your opinion publicly, probably via Facebook. When I receive a job application, the first thing I do is check to see what the person has publicly posted. That's not surveillance. Before the general population starts to worry about surveillance, they need to think about the public image they are portraying online.
I can't hire someone who posts stupid shit publicly. It could damage my business if my clients look them up.
- gaius 9y agoThat's not surveillance Yes it is. No less than if you got their postal address from their CV, parked outside their house and watched who came and went. After all they volunteered their details and the street outside their house is public... right?
- Chriky 9y agoI mean, it is clearly "less" isn't it? This continuum fallacy stuff really just makes privacy advocates look like kooks. You have to use the language other people use if you want to convince them, and normal people do not draw an equivalence between someone googling their name, and someone staking out their house, because there is an ocean between them.
- gaius 9y agoThis continuum fallacy stuff really just makes privacy advocates look like kooks You've clearly not read the article, in which a judge says that planting a tracking device on a car is materially different than tailing it.
