This saying isn't even true. Many countries have cultural expectations and legal structures providing some level of privacy in public. The very first GDPR fine issued stemmed from a business security camera that needlessly recorded people on the sidewalk.
- UltraSane 2y agoHow can you expect privacy when an unlimited number of cameras could be recording you?
- itishappy 2y agoYou reasonably can't. As a society, we need to choose between individual privacy and the pervasive use of invasive cameras. Regulations can be made to protect one or the other. The US seems to be going one way, the EU another.
- UltraSane 2y agoHow can you regulate the use of cameras in private company buildings or outside? Is it currently illegal for a EU company to have every square foot of a office building covered by 2 cameras and have a sophisticated analytics program that records exactly where every employee is at any time and what they are likely doing?
- itishappy 2y agoPass and enforce regulations? For instance, it's illegal in the US to put a security camera facing directly into your neighbors bedroom. In you office example, I suspect they have at least the same protections we have in the US about recording in bathrooms.
- UltraSane 2y agoBut there is a legitimate public safety argument for some level of surveillance so it is a very tricky balance to get right.
- gosub100 2y agoMerely recording is a necessary, but not sufficient condition to invasion of privacy.
