Your conclusion is completely illogical who do you know who mysteriously disappeared from your home in the past few months. If not, then you’re allowing yourself to partake of paranoia from a big internet echo chamber, which in and of itself raises questions as to how really totalitarian the government is. If they really are so powerful and competent, then why the heck are they allowing for people to speak paranoid drivel about them in echo chambers? Really, why? It kind of reminds me of Bobby Fischer rambling on about the conspiracy against him that never happened, and the man died for no other reason than his own health.
“Are you OK with Government and Business spying on you in your home via the microphone and camera’s in you smart phones, tv’s etc. How much loss of privacy is enough for you? Any limits?”
Total straw and B.S. Private citizens do it all the time as well. Personally, as I said before, put something out on facebook, and it’s fair game. Government hasn’t pestered me asking for information, private citizens and corporations have though, so once again, you are demonstrating selective outrage. I can just as easily spy on you, as a private citizen, if I really wanted to.
“No not always. Tell that to young people who have lost out on a job because of something stupid they have posted on Facebook.”
Posting on facebook is equivalent to speaking in the public square or doing something in your backyard, people can readily see and hear you in that case, without having to hack, so it’s therefore fair game. There is ABSOLUTELY NO OBLIGATION to be on FACEBOOK, in fact, google terminating your facebook account if you want to.
“What do you think a Hitler would have done with all this technology? Very very few of his enemies would have escaped.”
Again, total bulls#$% to the conversation, what if isn’t the issue here. Hitler is long since dead. What you are doing here is trying to do an appeal to emotion fallacy. Don’t waste time with hypotheticals, either.
Again, what bothers you about the fact that what you write on a wall is fair game against you? If you are so concerned about the facebook postings, well, only do it when you are sober or in a good mood.
Your throwing insults because quite frankly you don’t have an answer for what I posted.
I don’t post on face book because I value my privacy. My kids and family also don’t use it. The only social media that I use is Linkedin and that is for professional reasons.
If you think another Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc is impossible or not possible in this country, well you don’t know very much history.
Many people value their privacy and will fight for it.
Have a great day.
