I don't care I'm being tracked, I don't break the law.
Sure there is the chance it can be used against me, but odds are, as a peaceful law abiding citizen, it will never be used against me.
It has more upside for me than downside, if only it were used more often to catch bad guys, this world would be a better place for it. Or even for pandemic tracing.
The only thing we need is a system to regulate for abuse. Any system that watches over another system needs to be very strict.
Bring the hate, it doesn't matter. I argue most people who don't like it are doing stuff they don't want to be caught doing, even if it's not breaking the law. But fuck you, don't do weird shit. I'd rather leave in a place where everything is fair and there is no crime at the price of being watched. (And before people bitch about being seen naked, that's what AI would be for. A small price to pay for a huge upside)
No need for hate, you have an opinion and stated why. This is a place for reasoned discussion, not knee-jerk hysterics.

What about people who just value their privacy? Or is that something to be suspicious of now?
But fuck you, don't do weird shit.
I suppose we should all just get busy being the same then, yes? It seems that your opinion doesn't just cover what you want, it also imposes things on other people that they might not want. Hardly a fair system.

I think I can argue the case for privacy a bit more elegantly than simply not wishing to be seen naked (I presume you are referring to the 'curtains' argument here).
Personally speaking I don't trust 'the system'. Mainly because I have no control of it and have no ability to audit it and whether it is doing what it's supposed to or being abused.

And therein lies the rub. Power is power, and until you can assure me that anyone who is elevated to a position of power is either a) unable to abuse it or b) is of good enough character to not abuse it without oversight, then I simply don't trust it.
There is no moral obligation on me to trust someone else having power over me other than God.
I accept that this approach reduces the opportunity for technology to 'make me safer'. However, since all evidence is to the contrary I think I am making a safe bet at this point in time.
If you are an American, it is already being used against you to violate your constitutional right to privacy. The govt. cannot legally (constitutionally) search you without a warrant.
If you condone the govt. violating the law, then you condone them violating your rights as well. The notion that the govt. will "never" violate you, because you did nothing wrong is erroneous.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
As a woman, I do worry that a rapist or a violent ex could track down someone in order to harm them. That is also why I believe everyone should conceal carry.
I get why people dont like it, but I love it.

Either you've read history, or you trust the government. Can't be both.
I trust the government version of history.
Haha jk
Being part of the problem!!!! Awesome!
