Why wouldn't the average government just outlaw Sousveillance / Inverse surveillance?
- VMG 9y agoThey would. Enforcement is a separate issue
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoRules don't help as much in real life as we think. They are imaginary, and have influence on our behavior only because we let them. If violating a rule has no consequence or little chance of detection, we can expect large-scale violation. Further, if an action satisfies some person ethic but violates a public rule, many folks will take that action anyway. Violating the speed limit to get a spouse to medical aid. Violating a confidence to stop injury. Things like that. If a rule is counter to human nature (curiosity, personal safety) then it is likely to be useless.
