Collecting data without informed consent was an ethics issue always.
- shadowgovt 4y agoNot hardly. In the early days of the Internet it was seen as tit-for-tat among peers; you're accessing my server for data I have, of course I'm allowed to log and analyze your request. That was the exchange. The exchange was rarely made explicit in any kind of formalized consent sense.
- uoaei 4y agoInformal consent (and lack thereof) is still consent (and lack thereof).
- yencabulator 4y agoIf I am typing into an editor running on my computer, I am not consciously accessing your server for data you have.
- shadowgovt 4y agoI spend most of my time in Google Docs as the editor I'm typing in. And when I'm coding in emacs, I'm using Tramp to puppeteer a server somewhere else. The veil is thin between the internet and offline computing these days.
