Moreover how can our government condemn commercial data mining while at the same time expanding domestic surveillance? "Don't share your data its harmful! Unless you share it with us!".
- lghh 9y agoJust because we have not made progress in domestic surveillance does not mean we can't make progress in commercial data mining. It may be hypocritical to have one at the rate we do and legislate the other (though I don't think it necessarily is), but it's better to do that than to have both.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Moreover how can our government condemn commercial data mining while at the same time expanding domestic surveillance? The same way they can condemn kidnapping for hire while maintaining prisons?
- Spooky23 9y agoIf you don’t have a problem with random tech companies tracking your every move, why shouldn’t the government?
- s73v3r_ 9y agoNo, those are two completely separate things.
- mirimir 9y agoDomestic mass surveillance is unconstitutional. Back when the US Constitution was drafted, there was virtually no commercial data gathering. So we arguably need the Fourth Amendment extended to the commercial sector. Maybe also the First Amendment.
- 908087 9y agoThey won't, because commercial mass surveillance is an essential part of modern government mass surveillance.
