I would say they're my records, in that case.
I think there are at least 3 situations: 1. no expectation of privacy, you shared it you figured it was in the public realm 2. An expectation of privacy, but no agreement to it, this you telling a secret to a buddy or something. 3. An expectation and agreement, think of medical records or something.
I mean, one serious improvement would be to extend some of the protections afforded to _postal mail_ to other forms of permanent correspondence.
manspreading?
i accidently posted that my bad
sexist confirmed.
Taking, searching, or tampering with people's postal mail is a felony.
it is ^
Maybe taking, searching, or tampering with people's email, facebook messages, snapchats, whatsapps, SMS texts, etc. should be equally so.
@xorgy if so then they need to be government run
(sans narrow, targeted warrant for such behaviour)
and that becomes a problem
why would they need to be government run?
the post office is gov run
are you trying to equate the punishments with the mail same as the digital media ?
I don't see how that means that postal mail theft would not be a felony if the post office were not run by the government.
stealing my UPS packages is probably ....a crime.
facebook and twitter etc can tamper/spy on you and get away with it
but don't you authorize that?
Yes, the offense is not _theft from the US Postal Service_, it is _theft of mail_.
I think that that's probably fine, if you explicitly authorize the search of your messages, you should be left to deal with the consequences of that.
problem there is 500000 pages of ToS.
k.
XD
That is not a problem
like in the Steam TOS
just don't agree to it, and don't use it.
exactly 5k pages of ToS
where it explicitly says youre selling your soul to steam
XD
on page 20034
XD
eks dee
fooled them though, already sold mine.
There are reasonable limitations to the enforceability of contracts like that, but explicitly permitting them to search, analyze, view etc. your messages is a straightforward thing.
You either agree to that or you do not.
if the contract says you forfeit your left leg or some shit, nobody could reasonably expect that to be enforceable.
I DO NOT CONSENT
then... don't consent.
