There is often no clear dividing line between government and corporations. You give one freedom to abuse privacy and it will be used by the other.
- nickpp 5y agoYou mean the governments will abuse the privacy, no matter who gathers the data. Then maybe our fight is with them, not businesses.
- heurisko 5y agoNo, what I said doesn't preclude corporations abusing privacy. They regularly try to do this, as with working from home monitoring, or insurance companies profiling individuals. Governments can also be governments in name only, see corporatocracism.
- nickpp 5y ago> working from home monitoring, or insurance companies profiling individuals Comparing that with what governments can do with data gathered about me, I know which ones I want to be protected from. Unfortunately they are the ones writing privacy laws and they leave huge loopholes for themselves.
