you can't imagine the problem of having your private conversations recorded, then a business compelled to release them without a warrant? You can't imagine what inferences might be made about your personal conversations and sold to others? I do not think you are giving the words you say enough credit.
- paulcole 6y agoOf course I can imagine those problems! Those problems are brought up literally every time I mention that in-home speakers are not the end-of-the-world-nightmare-scenario so many people treat them as. I just don’t particularly care. Also if someone wants to cut out the middleman and buy my personal conversations directly, feel free to reach out. Great value! Last night I talked about weed and Top Chef!
- sukilot 6y agoEnjoy your privilege of not being interesting or important enough to be the target of criminal activity or government opppression. Millions of people aren't so lucky, and they deserve empathy as they work to build a better world for you to carelessly enjoy.
- cameronbrown 6y agoHow is other people's lives their responsibility?
- scrollaway 6y agoEmpathy is everyone's responsibility, yours included.
- Forbo 6y agoTo believe otherwise is literal sociopathy. Edit: LOL. Okay, let's just live in denial of the definition of antisocial behavior.
- cameronbrown 6y agoSo GP is a sociopath for choosing to use a Google Home?
- Forbo 6y agoGP is a sociopath for acknowledging that it is a valid issue, but it doesn't affect them, so "I just don't particularly care" is the real tell.
- cameronbrown 6y agoFor most people they're personally investing their energy in what they consider more important issues. We all only have so much energy to go around, and this obviously comes low on GP's list. This is in the same vain as online advertising or buying food from supermarkets over local stores.
- Kiro 6y agoThe privilege is that you have so few real problems that this is something you have time to worry about. The millions of people you talk about couldn't care less since they have immediate non-hypothetical problems to focus on.
- mellow2020 6y agoSo, not caring because because oneself is not being persecuted at this minute, and determined to err on the side of being no threat to any criminals or people who persecute others, ever, and to hand that "value" down the generations. I could get more eloquent descriptions of that argument from history books, and don't even care for those.
- titzer 6y agoI hope you never witness a government official commit a crime and consider blowing the whistle.
- paulcole 6y agoI hope so too!
- beardedwizard 6y agoAnd if weed became illegal again? Hmmmmmmmmm
- dragonwriter 6y ago> And if weed became illegal again? “became...again”? When did the federal prohibition of weed end?
- beardedwizard 6y agoExactly.
- elliekelly 6y agoI will purchase access to and broadcasting rights for all conversations that take place in your home. Name your price.
- paulcole 6y ago$1,000 a day seems fair.
- elliekelly 6y agoWell that hardly seems like a discount for cutting out the Googley middle man! Perhaps you do indeed value your privacy a bit more than you realize?
- paulcole 6y agoIt’s called negotiating. What’s your best offer?
