The very act of collecting information without consent is the act of hostility.
The rest of the technicalities are irrelevant, because none of them have anything to do with consent. There is no class of data whatsoever that is okay to collect without users' consent.
- acdha 4y agoThis is an ideological statement. You’re free to believe it’s true but it’s not how those words used in normal discourse and you’ll probably find your evangelism more productive if you clearly state this up front.
- bheadmaster 4y ago> This is an ideological statement. Yes, privacy is an ideological problem. The fact that the HN crowd now believes it's okay to collect data without others' consent makes me wonder how cooked the frog really is nowdays.
- hardware2win 4y agoWith this definition everything is hostile towards you, thus makes this concept not so useful. If I do see you in shop, then Im collecting informations about you, yet you didnt consent to me anything. Everything is up to what data is sent. Crash log? Fine All File names on my pc? Bad
- bheadmaster 4y ago> If I do see you in shop, then Im collecting informations about you, yet you didnt consent to me anything. This isn't a good analogy. By going in public I'm implicitly consenting to being seen, because it is impossible for me to go in public without being seen - being seen is a necessary condition for the action of me going out in public. There's no such necessity when it comes to running a development tool on my own machine in my own home.
