The lesson for the modern ago. Don't put stuff into digital form if you want privacy!
Some places don't allow use of smart phone. They actually ask you check your phone into a coat check type thing at door! One journalist friend often leaves the smart phone at home.
- philjohn 3y agoMore theatre performances are doing this now. Cabaret at the Kit Kat club in London places a sticker over any camera lens. The Burnt City, an immersive theatrical experience, makes you place your phone in a pouch that is then sealed with a tamper evident fastening before you enter the venue.

- noir_lord 3y agoNever did. It wasn't paranoia it was a healthy dose of "if this is possible, someone is doing it" Turned out they in fact were doing it.
- mrguyorama 3y agoMore like : If it is not explicitly illegal and aggressively enforced by someone, a business will attempt it, regardless of whether it makes money or not. Everything else is fair game apparently.
- sunnybeetroot 3y agoThis sets a terrible precedent. For most, a phone is all or a combination of; house keys, car keys, bank cards, medical records, photo albums, etc. Giving all that up to a stranger (albeit behind a passcode) is a step backwards in security and privacy. An alternative that I have witnessed is places place your phone in a lockable bag that you then carry with you. They unlock the bag when you exit.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoThe fact that a phone is a single point of failure for so much of your digital AND meatspace life is a terrible precedent, too.
- autoexec 3y ago> Giving all that up to a stranger (albeit behind a passcode) is a step backwards in security and privacy. putting all that on a device that you don't control and that "strangers" at apple or google can access or make changes to at any time, and without any notice to you and without any permission from you sounds like a step backwards in security and privacy.
