Reductio ad absurdum, wouldn't it be better just to have everyone's phone explode? Chances are pretty good the (alleged) killer will have one on them, so let's just blow everyone up.
If you don't, we'll end up with a murdered child, so why not?
- burkaman 4y agoReductio ad absurdum, why not make all communication illegal without the explicit written consent of the recipient? Then you'll never have to be bothered by anyone ever again.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoIs that supposed to be an absurd proposition? Because that is something I want. Stuff like advertising should be straight up banned, and it should be considered abuse to get a phone call from someone you have not explicitly whitelisted, especially corporations and governments. No one should presume they have an IRQ line to your brain and attention. They don't get to interrupt you with bullshit you couldn't care less about.
- burkaman 4y agoOk, what about an air raid siren? Someone speaking to you on the subway? A letter from the government about an upcoming election? A road sign warning of closures? Someone with a megaphone directing traffic?
- brainchild-adam 4y agoI'd argue it's about the level of intrusion and your options in dealing with it. My phone blaring at me at any time w/o warning and with no way to control this behavior seems quite a bit more intrusive to me than your examples.
