Care to elaborate on the details of your most recent sexually-intimate encounter?
...
That's what I thought. Everyone has something they don't want others to know.
- cyphunk 12y agoI hear this response often to the "i have nothing to hide" camp. Feels to me like we would have something better to say. Pointing to one thing most clearly wish to hide is just not a good comparison with the digital breadcrumbs we throw around. They dont compare. We have all come to accept that some people are able to know when you walk down the street past their store, if they wish. The bus driving is free to mentally note when you get off and on the bus. Telling people to wear masks when walking outside because our daily routine is as equally private as our sex lives, just does not equate. At times I feel this line of argument belittles everyone and their opinions in debate.
- goodcanadian 12y agoOK. Supposedly,I have no expectation of privacy when I am out in public. Certainly, anyone could see me go into a particular store. That is not the same as following me around everywhere and noting down everything I am doing. Most people would call that stalking. So what if I have nothing to hide? It is still creepy and inappropriate. This is my main objection to widespread surveillance cameras and an analogous argument applies to my online activity.
- nitrogen 12y agoAs I've argued before, small, isolated public events become extremely private descriptions of our lives when aggregated.
- tedunangst 12y agoIs there no distinction between hiding something and choosing not to discuss it?
- saraid216 12y agoI licked pussy. Since you're asking. I'm perfectly okay with others knowing that. Why do you want to shame me for that?
- nitrogen 12y agoYou are arguing for a world that might benefit you, will definitely benefit intelligence creepers, and would be considered by most human beings undesirable and downright hostile. Expect resistance.
- enraged_camel 12y ago>>I licked pussy. Since you're asking. I said details. All you did was give us a summary. For example, who was the lady? Would she be OK with you sharing this with the world?
- yellowapple 12y agoI don't believe you. I'll need photographic and auditory evidence supporting your claim.
