Apparently everyone is about the, “right to privacy” until their own envy overrides it.
- luckylion 7y agoThat goes both ways, though. Apparently, most corporations are against the right to privacy ... until somebody wants to see how many tax loopholes they've used (and how much money they gave to politicians to create them).
- vgetr 7y agoWhich is exactly why creating more government will exacerbate the problem.
- Nasrudith 7y agoPrivacy for a corporation itself isn't applicable and really somewhat oxymoronic given corporation transparency requirements. Fundamentally they must be owned and managed by someone else with stake in it. Heck, income and tax information aren't even guaranteed as having a right to privacy for humans. For corporations investors need to be able o be informed about their business operations - it is what separates it from a scam and prevents the investment system from collapsing as it would if there was nothing stopping anyone from just taking the money and running off with it. Earning and tax information wouldn't make sense as private. That doesn't mean that employees and customers have no right to privacy because of a corporation. Just like how states don't have rights but the people making them up do.
- vgetr 7y agoShould we then require restaurants to install cameras to make sure waiters/waitresses are fully reporting their paper tips? Seems to me that fits within the category of tracking business operations.
- xfde 7y agoLibertarian ideas like this are, frankly, stupid.

- vgetr 7y agoFunny how expressing the opinion that regulation will lead to harm gets you downvoted while calling someone, “stupid” doesn’t have a single effect.
- pwinnski 7y agoParent comment referred to the idea of installing cameras to track tip recording as stupid, not you or any other person.
