Am I misremembering this? I thought a malware researcher reverse engineered the iOS app and said it was uniquely bad, or something to that effect. I can’t find the link, maybe I’m crazy…

Just don’t get stuck thinking about it, that’s going to be your biggest barrier, realistically.

Which is just another form of: “because it harms one person ever, we can’t accept it.” An argument we’ve already established as absurd. You keep repeating the same logical mistakes, so you shouldn’t be surprised when I repeat the same refut

Eh, my understanding was the TikTok app collected more and different data than say, Facebook or Twitter.

So your response to, “ww2 was a long tome ago” is to pull an example from ww1? Feels like you’re not getting the point there… Western society learned the lesson from those awful events; they’re therefore not going to happen again.

I'm just trying to imagine how you think it would have gone down in Nazi Germany if a Jewish group tried to sue the Nazi party for their oppressive treatment of the Jewish people. How you see the Holocaust as a parallel to what trans p

You had to go back 80 years to find an example of a lack of privacy hurting enough people to make your point, and that's my point. We don't have things like WW2 happen anymore, and living our life like the next Holocaust is just

Maybe one reason you're struggling to find a job is that you can't understand that just because something is effecting you doesn't mean it's a larger problem for many people...

...if literally nothing changes. But that's never been true at any point in human history, so we can rely on change of some kind taking place.

So you admit your argument is predicated on the number of people who are harmed. What you fail to realize is I said "modern history". WWII was nearly 80 years ago, and since then, society has improved in gigantic leaps and boun

Okay cool; so we should... ban companies that build social networks that are too inclusive? What is the action you're suggesting?

They’re designed to show you content you like so you watch their ads… But sure, only compatible cultures should talk to one another? So which cultures pair well with yours and which don’t, then? Who would you kick off the Internet/soc

Profound is the wrong word; limiting is a better one. By getting stuck in one particular pattern, you’re lashing yourself to a specific point in time, and while this may save the cost of learning how to adapt to new tech, you lose out on m

Er, how do you draw borders around an Internet community, which has no physical boundaries?

Your argument relies on the miscalculation of risk, and now exposed you can’t even actually articulate an alternative reason why privacy is so important.

You can call me wrong, you can claim you’re not arguing that one casualty is too many, but your actual argument remains that any negative consequences of giving up some privacy for substantive benefit are infinitesimally small yet somehow n

by Zetice 3y ago
Your argument relies on "one single negative outcome" to be enough of a reason not to do anything. Obviously I know you live incongruously with your argument; that's my entire point! Glad you're figuring that out, but

You compared using Whatsapp to wearing a seatbelt; the problem with this analogy is that many, MANY more people die in car accidents than from... whatever abstract value me using Whatsapp will provide you , a complete stranger. You'

I intentionally gave up the chase to marry “real” feeling writing/reading with modern tech to avoid the inevitable uncanny valley these tools tend to get stuck in, and it seems like I was right to do so. I fear, immensely, the idea tha

The negative consequences of incomplete privacy are certainly real, they’re just not nearly as numerous as you seem to believe. I can and I will dismiss the kinds of privacy concerns that rely on me being unable to understand how risk works

"If you find an idea that you think is both valuable to the company and interesting to you " means just that; you. Not your partner, not your boss, not anyone else. You. The comment is wrong, both in theory and in practice.

How many people do you think is an acceptable level of loss for cars to be justified? How many people need to die because their medical information wasn't available quickly enough to deliver life saving treatment in time? Pedophiles ar

Why do you presume the number of acceptable casualties is zero? We don’t apply that kind of logic to any other aspect of risk management, why would that be the bar here? And no, privacy advocates claim privacy protects against the future,

Yes, as are you, in the same way we’re willing to drive a car and therefore risk death.

Every time in modern history western society has started down the path of outlawing some form of existence, we self correct.
