Yeah. We need to protect human rights. We don’t need mechanisms to subvert just means of accountability. It’s true that the same tools may cut both ways, but let’s keep in perspective what ends are of collective value.
- mindslight 8y agoThis philosophy is plainly false with the ongoing criminalization of victimless behavior. Most all drug possession is still heavily penalized for no collective benefit. Meanwhile the crooks on Wall Street continue unhindered, with no sign that accountability will ever come. Especially alarming is the push to tie Internet activity to real world identities, under the guise of post-facto accountability. The Internet is a medium which purposely eschewed ambient enforcement in lieu of end-to-end intelligence, and yet we're continually seeing (many successful) pushes to drag us back to that legacy post-facto natural-language imperfect-enforcement regime that benefits those in power.
