Whats the issue? police using for nefarious deeds that they get caught and fired for like in the article? or is it people think that privacy is a right but then have 10+ apps on their phone that track every movement they make?
- notaustinpowers 2y agoPeople don't "think" that privacy is a right, it quite literally is a right thanks to the Supreme Court back in 1965. Plus, I downloaded those apps on my own accord. You act like we have a choice when it comes to stuff like this.
- pessimizer 2y agoThis is a novel argument. Now it's not: "If you don't want to be tracked, don't have 10+ apps on your phone that will track you." It's become: "Well, you probably have 10+ apps on your phone that track you, why would you care about any other violation of your personal space or privacy?" The pretense of volition has been completely removed. You will not be allowed to participate in the modern world unless you give up some of your privacy; and if you give up some of your privacy in order to participate in the modern world, you aren't allowed to complain about giving up the rest of your privacy for any reason at all. If you really cared about privacy, you'd stop working, stop living in a building, stop paying taxes, stop living in a city, stop driving, stop walking down the sidewalk, keep your face covered, keep your mouth shut, and die in a ditch.
