Is your privacy really invaded if you do not know it is?

(25,029 posts)That is your argument that your privacy isn't invaded if I come into your house and go through your stuff as long as I do so carefully enough to evade your notice.
Hell, in principle you would assert that given the availability of the technology and as long as it could be done without notice you would open our very thoughts to those who desire their contents it seems to me.
Is the very concept of privacy a crime in your mind?
I find it difficult to believe this kind of nonsense is actually how you think government should be structured and interact with it's citizens or if you do how one can be such without being a wholly authoritarian dumpsterfire that is openly contemptuous of civil liberties all the way down to the conceptual level and wonder who such folk would set as our "god" in such a case in despair.
I hope you just like absurd arguments.
