What does this even mean? Does it mean no logging of anything you do online?
If you go to a website, it creates an HTTP log. The administrators of those sites usually review HTTP logs for valid, not-scary, security related issues.
If I have see a spike in error codes, then there might be an availability issue on my website. I can also look for indicators of SQL injection attacks and other malfeasance. These are all valid reasons to review logs you, the person visiting my website, generate.
What about CCTV cameras? Can I not put one in my business? You're entering my business.

This is silly. If we ban things like radar guns, police are just going to fall back to the less-accurate eyeball test. Ankle bracelets and alcohol monitors are ways to keep people out of jail. You're not typically forced to wear one unless it's a condition of your probation or parole. Don't like them? Stay in jail.

For example, you are not allowed to snoop on your employees email unless there's a very good reason for that (suspected fraud, stealing information, etc). Even more intrusive tools are outright illegal. > What about CCTV cameras? Can I not put one in my business? You can. What you can't do is use them to snoop on your employees indiscriminately and you better have a clear retention policy for the footage and make sure that it's deleted after a specified period. e: small clarification
