Today I was contacted by someone at work. She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name. She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile.
This is just a small anecdote about privacy practices and their real life impact (and how your employer can undo all of it, I guess)
Call me pessimistic, but I do think:
- Privacy is an illusion.
- Control is an illusion (a reference to Mr. Robot).
Certainly, we can do a lot to have more privacy, but it is an illusion to think that we have complete control over it. Especially with social media, jobs, and today’s technology.
Hello friend
You’re right, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up completely.
I would be pissed and just say “that was on purpose, fuck you”.
Someone is putting a lot of work into including/inviting you.
Yea my first respond would also totally be: “Fuck that person in particular” /s
I had this argument with my boss and lost. They made all of us take photos that they posted on the company website. I said I’m working pretty hard on making myself invisible and don’t appreciate being forced to out myself like this. Tough shit. My name picture and contact info are out there for all to see.
What the fuck? Where are you from? That would be illegal in germany. If you don’t want to be in the internet, they can’t just force you.
Anyone can be found, the only question is how much effort people are willing to put into finding them.
Can you help find Jan Marsalek?
I found him, hes in Ligma
What’s / Where’s “Ligma”?
It’s the place right next to sugoma
