I just don't think that serial killers are enough of a problem to mess with printing. Surely there are more effective ways to deter people from this sort of behavior.
- 4gotunameagain 2y agoI see where you coming from, but similarly I just don't think that a couple of microscopic yellow dots on my prints that carry the date and serial number are not a problem. It's not like I intend to forge anything.

- 4gotunameagain 2y agoI am a proponent of privacy. I do not feel my privacy threatened by the date and serial number on my inkjet prints. It is not an all or nothing.

And it's this kind of casual attitude of indifference which is exactly the mindset that the essay is intended to speak to.
