How is that a hard sell at all? I'm not suggesting a motivated actor would have trouble getting it, but I am suggesting that nobody should be allowed to have a copy without my express consent. AKA: it's private.
In the same way that if a significant other were to send you a nude photo it's OK, but if you were to take pictures up a woman's skirt on the subway, it's very much not.
- toomuchtodo 3y ago> but I am suggesting that nobody should be allowed to have a copy without my express consent I think that is a fair position to take and would support legislation codifying that in statute. That's not necessarily private, but strongly governed (but perhaps we're talking past each other). How do you feel about relatives who share segments with you, where them sharing their DNA would trivially lead to you? As always, the discussion is "where does one's rights end and the other's begin."
