There is no expectation of privacy in public places in the US. Not sure of Canada has the same norm. Now that said just because you can collect data does not mean should should--there's a wide range for good and evil here.
- HarryHirsch 6y agoWe are forgetting that until very recently storage was so expensive that there was an expectation of forgetting. This should be talked about more because it changes the picture dramatically.
- DLA 6y agoThat's a fantastic point you raise. It's dirt cheap to collect (IoT devices, drones, Digital Globe and the like) and very inexpensive to store data in volumes that were once the only viable for governments or well-funded and motivated private entities (e.g. hedge funds). That opens the door to a radically different set of possibilities.
- a_imho 6y agoI recall a youtuber Surveillance Camera Man, when he filmed people in public they seemed to get angry about his actions. To me this says people de facto expect privacy in public spaces. https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Surveillance_Camera_Man https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Surveillance_Camera_Man
