Because as a lender I don't want to give someone money to buy xyz when they have a history of not making their payments. I don't think this analogy works.

- anfilt 8y agoStill I think part of the problem is that you can't opt out. If I wanted opt out and you tried to look me up and it said no info. Well that means you as a lender then choose to not lend the money or just assume highest risk or limit risk by loaning only smaller amount. People should be able to opt out.
- gruez 8y agoWhat you're describing as an opt-out is really a gag order to prevent businesses from disclosing your misdeeds. Why should you be able to prevent others from saying true things about you?
- seisvelas 8y agoNot arguing either way, but to answer >Why should you be able to prevent others from saying true things about you? The obvious reason is privacy. Misdeed is subjective and the aggressive broadcasting of supposed misdeeds can be a conformist beating stick. Literal truth is a low standard for determining whether something should be said. Personally, I think Buddha's heuristic is pretty useful: When determining whether you should say something, Is it kind? Is it necessary? Is it honest? Does it improve upon the silence?
