This is like defending the use of indiscriminate radio jammers to prevent tracking via bluetooth, or wifi, or cell service.
The air we breathe in and communicate with over radio waves and audio waves is a public commons. Don't piss in the well.
- krtong 7y ago>Don't piss in the well Is it a well, or is it a toilet with a surveillance system in it?
- Donckele 7y agoair we breathe? public commons? piss in the well? Ha Ha, nice one DH.
- Blackthorn 7y agoAgain, I can't really blame the peasantry for it even if it impacts others. I feel like ultimately the responsibility for the externality lies with the trackers, not the people trying to avoid the tracking. If the only way to drop out is by using these, they are gonna get used. Whose fault is that? I blame the people who made it the only way to drop out.
- lonelappde 7y agoLord Farquaad: "Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make." It's not cool to make the most vulnerable people pay the cost of your protest.
- justinjlynn 7y agoMy thoughts precisely. Well, I guess it doesn't take very much to dig up self-righteous assholes willing to actively harm innocent people with ineffectual and indiscriminate 'protest'.
- yifanl 7y agoWhat use is a protest if it isnt disruptive, exactly?
- olliej 7y agoYou’re not disrupting anyone other than the already hard hit. You’re not impacting the companies they perform this surveillance. You’re not impacting any individuals other than the minorities that need these devices to function in a society that is already inherently biased against them. So basically you’re protesting the existence of deaf people. Good job.

- Blackthorn 7y agoDidn't say it wasn't potentially a dick move depending on where you protest, but I'm also not willing to put the blame on the protesters. The fact that you quoted the guy in the position of power to make your point is pretty ironic.
- attqqq 7y ago“Can’t blame peasantry.. the Trackers are responsible” That’s not how responsibility works. If you use this device, you’re responsible for the collateral damage it produces. The Trackers are only responsible for making you think you need it
- avmich 7y agoIf a company uses a listening device, it's responsible for the collateral damage it produces. So it's not the defender's fault - without listening devices in the first place, there wouldn't be the problem. Is this correct according to your approach?
