> If you whip out your smartphone while I have a conversation next to you, even in a private or semi-public space, and my records get send somewhere without my knowledge, did you just violate my privacy? Yes. Privacy is everyone's responsibility. And I say this working in the digital marketing space. > If my boss has a speaker on his desk and I can't reasonably expect to be listened to, but he records me anyway, how do I prevent this? You have many options, the most extreme is by not working for people who put you in situations like that. But maybe having a talk would suffice. "Hey sorry I feel like my personal liberty is being violated here, I would prefer not to be recorded without my consent" If your boss insists, then you have the choice of not revealing anything you are not comfortable with being recorded all the way again to the extreme case of replying to everything your boss says with some same crafted response, as an example, "I would love to reply/answer, but not while being recorded". > Privacy needs to be understood as a social good, not as an individual right. 100% emphatically absolutely not if not for the simple reason that this is contrary to American liberty and where our rights come from, and once you go down that hole, there is no going back. > Privacy needs to be drastically expanded to have meaning for connected people in a social environment. One of my favorite writers on this exact topic is Daniel J Solove. (He's the author of one of my favorite papers of all time "I've got nothing to hide and other misunderstandings of privacy" which is now subsequently a book called "Nothing to Hide")
