Increasingly powerful privacy rights? Do you live in opposite world? Surveillance is growing rapidly, police and other entities have orders of magnitude more data on us than they could have dreamed of a few decades ago, but because there remains an extremely narrow category of data they can't collect in bulk (the content of encrypted communication, but not the metadata), you call this growing privacy?

- jstummbillig 4y agoThe power that the same old rights afford is increasing, because you don't have to leave your house to do some very nefarious stuff and encrypted communication is now a commodity. Any right to privacy meant relatively less in a world where entering a stone building and bringing guns was considered the premiere way to obtain money illegally, because (and I guess it speaks volumes about this whole thread that I feel the need to spell it out) you had to give up a good amount of your privacy by executing anything in that plan. That's often no longer the case.
