- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoMy charitable take is that it does take both ends of the spectrum to arrive at a solution that does not exactly satisfy everyone, but is an acceptable place to stop the impossible arms race. The unfortunate reality is that we are nowhere the end of that race. Admittedly, that was the first time I read about fingerprinting in this manner and bypassing explicit privacy protections is definitely not something I would want for my future self ( or that my of my family ). In other words, I think you are right. Privacy probably needs to be codified. It may seem hard to do given existing entrenched interests, but you have to start somewhere. Not that long ago people thought buying people is 'just the way world works'. Things can change. Slowly, but they do.
