    If someone says they have nothing to hide, I ask if they also leave the door open when they use a public rest room.

      Yeah or tell them you need to look at all of their emails and texts right now. Will also need to listen to recordings of every phone call they’ve ever made.

      The right wing (small government? Don’t look into things that aren’t your business?) Would like to require genital checks before bathroom usage, but only for a certain "type"of person.

    It’s not illegal to monitor someone’s smart water meter as it’s not encrypted. You can tell whenever they shower or go to the bathroom and then send them a log of their activity. It’s not illegal

          Always wondered what stalking actually was - I mean paparazzi seem legally well protected.

          A new (June 2023) US Supreme Court “standard essentially brushes a street protester with the same stroke as a persistent obsessive who subjects someone to intense and long-term technologically enabled abuse”. Oof.

            Incredible way to reply “sus”.

            Wondered where that was from:

            In Transformers: Age of Extinction, a 20 year old man shows the father of a 17 year old girl a laminated card of a Texas State law to justify him being in a sexual relationship with the 17 year old girl. This actually happens in the movie.

    Until I start getting paid for my data being used for profit of others then my privacy is a form of self value preservation.

    And I’ll look out my blinds at you if I want.

    I’ll take photos, say hi sometimes and wish you a good day. Welcome to a planet full of living creatures.

      Watching people on the street in public is very different to staring into someone’s house – their private residence.

      Or would you be happy with someone standing in front of your house, taking pictures of everything you do in your front room?

      If you saw someone doing that, wouldn’t you be tempted to close the blinds?

      When I was a young adult we started getting concerned about the number of cameras popping up everywhere. Then some news story ran that said an average person is filmed around 20 times throughout the course of their day. We all found that to be horrifying. Now that number is probably several thousand times per day, and people do not fucking care. It doesn’t make sense to me. I care, but I’m made to feel like a weirdo if I ever say that.
