I think this is a neat idea but I also find it ironic that while so many people here in HN are so adamant about privacy, etc, they also think it's a great idea

I think this is a neat idea but I also find it ironic that while so many people here in HN are so adamant about privacy, etc, they also think it's a great idea to livestream all of your phone calls. I suppose it's by choice, but I still think it's kind of funny.

- andrewflnr 13y agoPrecisely. It's about choosing when and how to give up privacy. The "adamant about privacy" perception mostly comes about because of all the people actively trying to expose our information to various other parties. In response, we fixate on those cases where we don't want that to happen, as an argumentative counterpoint. The times where we want to share things are simply not as interesting, since sharing is easier (technically and politically), so we make less noise about it.
- iguana 13y agoKeep private things private, the rest can be transparent. Anything you say to a reporter should fall into the second category. Answering a TC reporter's questions in an open recording has far more marketing value than just answering questions.
