Hi Hive account@jbee I think we are agreeing with each other, Im saying its too late to go back to a time on anonymity, and we probably dont want that as you point out. We do however currently live in a state where we dont know if we are being watched, and I think thats wrong. Your point about the criminal who operates in your area havinga problem because they will get caught is a good example; is it better to catch a criminal, or stop a crime? If the criminal is certain of apprehension due to him/her knowing survellance is in operation, its highly unlikely they will commit a crime, however if the surveillance is invisible, they probably will commit the crime.
You might be comfortable with a hotel surveillance, or government surveillance seeing your naked arse, but what if you upset someone on steemit and they start tearing down your life; they get your naked arse photos and use them to start damaging your personal and professional relationships?
Maybe you still dont care, all my point is, you as the person being watched, should know when, how and who is watching, so you can make an informed choice.
