You honestly have a silly definition of surveillance. You choose to give fb/google that information about you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- em500 5y agoAt least Facebook also tracks logged-out users and non-users.
- tremon 5y agoYou honestly have a silly definition of choice. If I want to order from a webshop that relies on googleapis.com or uses recaptcha, how much choice do I realistically have? How aware of webbugs (Facebook and Twitter logo's, for example) do you think the average Internet user is?
- viro 5y agoYou have plenty of choice. Your choice might have consequences but you still have the choice. Most users are fully aware of how tracked the free internet is.
- powersnail 5y agoThat reminds me of some earlier definitions of rape where the victim is required to have fought against the rapist. Otherwise, they had “chosen” to yield to the perpetrator.
- orthecreedence 5y agoOpt-in surveillance can still be surveillance, especially if you don't tell people what it really is.
- viro 5y agoNo, it's not. That doesn't follow ANY definition of surveillance. Just because you replied to my comment and gave me your username doesn't mean I'm performing surveillance against you. That's silly and that is exactly how ur definition would work.
