lulz, privacy arguments from all of us whose phones track where we are each minute and can relay everything you say without you ever knowing it.
i mean really, are you that unaware of the world you live in that all of a sudden privacy is an issue just now?
"omg! mah privacy!"
you say after a day in which you were seen by 50 cctv cameras and can be tracked with almost zero effort or have your entire history laid bare by anyone that forks over $50 to a website.
you dudes crack me up.SciFiRPGfan
But why keep reducing "our" privacy more and more? Or better said, why be O.K. with "our" privacy being reduced more and more?
Like you said, "we" are supposedly decently monitored as it is. So, is it necessary to go even further?
The thing that I don't like about the "you are dealing with the - insert some kind of obstacle somebody is complaining about - already so why are you starting to complain just now?"Â argument is that it represents a slippery slope according to which one could practically never complain about something (or something becoming worse) once he has experienced it at some point (or put up with it to some degree).
The consumers' (people's) reactions don't always work like some kind of binary system (1. I am completely O.K. with something, 2. I am completely not O.K with it). They might accept some incoveneniences (e.g. devices / companies monitoring some of their their activities) to some degree, but as they will keep piling on top of each other, some will start complaining more and more. But that's completely normal phenomenom which can be seen quite often in many areas of life. I bet that even you have your limits.
That said, I agree with the poster who said that it would be wiser to wait and see how the system works in practice before passing the judgment.so i'm supposed to be worried about the opinions of a pile of guys whose judgment is compromised because they either hate or love some game console?come-on.
those types being panicky and militant about something is a perfect reverse barometer of what a sensible person needs to be concerned about.
i can't  see this as any kind of threat at all.
just the regular internet extremest bullshyt.
if i get more information on it and it really is some kind of threat or it compromises my privacy in some way i'm not comfortable with then i won't buy it, simple as that.
anything else is just  letting your emotions make decisions for you without any basis in reality.
