It's not your privacy.
You get to communicate with your friends while keeping that fact secret from the government. That's in the Bill of Rights.
You do not get to enter a building that someone else owns while keeping that fact secret from the building owner. That's a crime.
- agwa 12y agoIt is my privacy, and just because a private building owner can legally violate that privacy doesn't mean that they should or must[1], or that the users of that building shouldn't question the stated reasons that their privacy is being violated (particularly in the case of universities, which usually respect their community members' opinions more than a typical private organization). [1] For this reason, your assertion that secretly entering a private building is a crime is not universally true.
- superuser2 12y agoWhy do you consider the fact that you're entering a building to be private? Why do you consider it a violation?
- icebraining 12y agoJust because the owner has a legal right to keep tabs on people, and that doing so doesn't infringe on constitutionally protected rights, doesn't mean privacy isn't being violated or that (s)he is above criticism. You do not get to enter a building that someone else owns while keeping that fact secret from the building owner. That's a crime. Nobody is saying that it should be "kept a secret". Only that it shouldn't be on record, especially electronically. You know, like people do everywhere buildings have regular keys.
