In a perfect society, full of perfect people, I don't think we would have much use for privacy. In the society we live in privacy is valuable.

- bduerst 12y agoIsn't that the same crappy argument for banning torrents? Should we stop people from using cars, because vehicles are used by drunk drivers?
- seanflyon 12y agoIt's a bad argument for banning things but it is a perfectly correct argument for pointing out the the real cost of something. Cars kill people. We should not pretend that cars are safe, we should make a rational decision and come to the conclusion that the cost is worth the freedom of transportation. You'r argument would be a valid analogy if I were suggesting that we make it illegal to tell anyone your location (or any other "private" information). I am only pointing out that privacy is valuable and we should count the cost if and when we give it up.
