- sneak 7y agoPublic safety is not a human right, while privacy is. If we abandon our commitments to human rights in times of crisis, how important are they to us, really?
- vsl 7y ago> Public safety is not a human right, while privacy is. Seriously? “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person” is literally Article 3 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights - and 1&2 are “this applies to everyone; yes, we mean it”. Privacy is all the way down in Article 12. I’ll take my life, health and freedom, for which targeted suppression of this disease is essential, over my privacy any time, thank you very much.
