I'm not convinced that's a good look from this blog post. See the examples they give: "a Catholic priest’s resignation after location data revealed he used the Grindr app and frequented gay bars", "might expand into terrorism, sedition, or similar categories of crime", "[catch] DMCA violations", "Your car could report when you parked illegally or disobeyed the speed limit", "Your smart irrigation system could detect whenever you watered your lawn in violation of water conservation orders".
There's more to this whole topic than "you won't be able to break laws and decieve people with casual abandon", right? Like, a presumption that your customers are actually innocent, maybe.
- arpa 5y agoInnocent? INNOCENT? are you not fucking aware how judicial systems are constructed? I swear, it makes feel that to kill myself is the only solution sometimes! It's illegal to be gay in some countries, and you're born that way. By writing this comment I violated laws for profanity (writing "fucking" in a public forum), posting about suicide (see roskomnazors' github block over a repo with humorous description of suicide), claiming that some people are born gay (falls under the law of "protection of children from negative information" that even applies in some EU countries). Innocent! Hah. Give us a name, and we'll find what you're guilty of...

- arpa 5y agoi assure you it was a fully original rant.
