And that's why my question was calling privacy a principle, it seems like its not. You don't give up your principles because the cost outweighs the benefit - that's literally what principles are about, you do them when they are hard.
- matz1 7y agoYou have hold a principle because the benefit is greater than the cost, otherwise whats good is a principle ? Or maybe people has different principle.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> you don't give up your principles because the cost outweighs the benefit Yes, a rational person does. You're thinking of dogma. People don't give up their dogmas when the costs outweigh its reasonable benefits because holding onto their belief system is practically infinitely valuable. Dogmas are hard boundaries. Principles are guiding factors. Sacrificing privacy as a principle in the midst of a global pandemic is perfectly fine in most cases. It's still a guiding factor, but it's of lower priority than competing interests.
