As it is there is no effective privacy online without resorting to tor or vpn and even that is not 100% certain.
If people were invisible in real life do you think shoplifting and violent crimes would increase or decrease? Sometimes too much privacy is a bad thing.
Maybe laws that limited the radius online tracking in space and time would be effective at balancing privacy desires with transaction logging.
- dane-pgp 5y ago> If people were invisible in real life do you think shoplifting and violent crimes would increase or decrease? As long as the items people shoplifted were still visible, I think shoplifters would be more cautious than they are now, especially as they'd have no idea if their actions were being watched and followed by a squad of invisible security guards / police. Similarly, if people were invisible, then violent crimes would be harder just because potential victims can hide better, and potential criminals wouldn't know when they are really alone with their target. Anyway, anonymity doesn't mean invisibility. A better analogy would be wearing a mask. It's true that criminals often choose to wear one, but I'm not sure if bans on masks have been proven to reduce crime.
