Not surprising, as a society we value privacy less and less these days. I feel old when I remember back when society as a whole was afraid of what personal information was on the internet. Now we get mad when it can't be posted online fast enough.
- dictum 13y agoThere are three things at play here: 1. Narcissism is no longer frowned upon — even some people's hate for others' narcissism becomes a venue for their own narcissism 2. Social mores have relaxed in much of the world, so the bikini selfie on Instagram won't get you shunned from your community 3. We're having an instinctive response the advance of technology that enables mass surveillance; since we can't hide from the cameras, we're going to ignore their presence there or subvert them for our benefit
