@patrickniedzielski Although OK to photograph crowd, can get in trouble to publish photo of private person w/o a signed release.

This is a better example: if you post something with your personal information to a wall in public, you can't claim privacy on it.

It isn't as if one is walking through public space when posting online. It is more as if one is posting something in public space.
-
Walking through public domain and being photographed without knowing is more like wiretapping or communication interception online.
-
@patrickniedzielski How many people do you know who've had photographs of themselves posted or tagged online without their consent? !privacy
-
You mean things I publish on the internet are viewable on the internet? Somehow I'm responsible for my own privacy? How could this be? :)
-
That's not a problem with aggregators. Doing that in real world context is equally wrong. But the next person who uses it is not at fault.
-
@patrickniedzielski agregating personal information without explicit consent from the (human) person should be a criminal offence. !privacy
-
@laurelrusswurm that depends on locale, and even when it is in effect it's reach is often exaggerated.
-
@gomerx quite often Internet venues deliberately give neophyte users the illusion of privacy, and then pull the change-the-TOS-shellgame
-
@patrickniedzielski In real life, if a stranger collected photos from your school/friends/family without your permission, you'd call police.
-
Sure. But it's still my responsibilty. It's dumb to expose myself to harm, expecting a TOS to save me.
-
@patrickniedzielski ... that's real life. It doesn't change b/c that stranger uses the Internet.
-
@patrickniedzielski Yes, you're right. But. In the real world, friends privately chatting in social club have an expectation of privacy.
-
@gomerx Yes, it is, but you understand this. Most people do not. I contend it is wrong (but not illegal) to take advantage of this.
-
@gomerx And do your parents, grandparents understand that? Or is this just magic? I know teens who think tech is magic.
-
People are far too trusting of corporations. TV has taught us to believe whatever we hear. But yes, it's wrong to take advantage.
-
There have been people trying to swindle other people for as long as there have been people. A mentally healthy adult should be skeptical.
-
@lnxwalt280 Agreed; I think it *should* be illegal, but I know that today's gov'ts care more for corporate persons than human persons
-
@gomerx If there was reasonable effort to inform people, I's defend people's right to be fleeced if they opted for wilful ignorance...
-
@gomerx but most people are innocently ignorant; they just don't get it. And corporate lobbyists have gleefully taken advantage.
-
I just don't see how a person can try some new technology without understanding it, and expect to blame someone else when they get hurt.
-
@gomerx Sure. But it is hard to judge the safety of magic. The reason you almost got SOPA (and might get CISPA) is people rely on experts
-
@gomerx There is so much bad law being made around the technology because the lawmakers don't understand the tech.
