Helping people maintain their privacy is "just making it easier for unethical people to be even more unethical"?
The idea that privacy is too dangerous for people to have is cynical. Passing laws to prevent privacy would be the worst kind of tyranny. Thankfully any practical attempt would be unconstitutional in the US.

- seanflyon 12y agoBusinesses don't have conversations, people do.
- gnaritas 12y agoNot the guy you're talking to, but... if people doing business can hide behind the limited liability said business provides then it's fair to separate private communication from business communication and possibly declare that limited liability doesn't come without loss of privacy to ensure the law is being followed for business communications. It's unfair to use personal privacy rights to try and hide illegal business activity thus absolving any actual person from being responsible while also allowing them the limited liability of a corporation so if any wrongdoing becomes known no one can be blamed.

- rodgerd 12y agoWhen people do awful things in a business context they say "it's just business." Can't turn around and say, "at work this is my personal communication."
- Dylan16807 12y agoThat's a business interacting with the outside world. That is a business having a conversation, and should probably be recorded. Internally it's people and they should be able to have some privacy.
