Privacy


This story confuses me. Since moving to the UK I have been shocked by the number of CCTV devices which mean everyone over here is being filmed, sometimes hundreds of times, every day.

But when images are placed on the Internet so that we know just a small fraction of the degree to which privacy has been destroyed people complain.

It is my take that people might like to know just how much of thier lives are being spied on by governments, companies, and criminals. But it looks to me that people would rather just ignore the true issue by killing the messanger.
