There is a huge difference there. First of all, I don't have facebook, and I barely use my real name on the internet. So I can defend against that. And second, my name is absolutely not unique and if needed I can adopt other identities. My face is and i can't get a new one.
- alexbecker 12y agoMany people do, and it's an inescapable part of their social life. And it is quite easy to narrow down results based on location, even if you have a relatively common name. Which many people don't; for example I know of only one Mozaffar Qizilbash and some extensive googling hasn't turned up another. But this specific example isn't the point. My point is that as information becomes more widely available and integrated in our lives, there will be plenty of ways to find out plenty of stuff about all but the most cautious hermits. Trying to plug every hole just isn't practical.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoDo you wear a mask when walking down the street? Do you ask people to sign a document if you want them to see your face? There is always a way to abuse anything, and at some point we need to address it on a societal level, and not by blocking technological progress.
- 1ris 12y agoNo, I'm not wearing a mask, and I don't want too, that the whole point. The fact that people do need my consent before they film me, or make anonymous is state of the law in may places. I don't see how a mandatory shutter sound is blocking "technological progress".
