Then, what would be YOUR definition of privacy and/or intimacy? Until what point do you consider some parts of your social life can be shared with thousands of strangers?

This is so inmature. Obviously, inter personal relationships is a lot of people sharing their private matters. And when you use the word SHARING it ceases to be private.

I also think it was very poor taste but that's it. What do you want Torodd, regulation? Some confrol force checking that nobody says more about others than this control force allows? Explain YOUR definition of how you think this privacy that you so long for could be defended.

I get a sense there may be different cultural expectations based on backgrounds here. I don't know that there's any natural rules regarding privacy, just social convention.
 
 
Ownership of information is pretty illusory IMO.
 
 
Someone who is high and mighty enough to think they can lecture another adult about their manners has lost their expectation of kind behavior in return.
 
Which is what most of this is about, people treating each other with kindness and compassion. That's what protects privacy.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

That emails between two persons remains private. That interpersonal relationships remains interpersonal relationships without being a public matter (as long as nobody is breaking the law). To be able to have sex or have a stupid argument without everybody in the public domain knowing the details some time after.

Absolute not. The cat is already out of the bag/the genie has escaped the bottle. This is like music piracy. Nobody can stop or even regulate it. Neither can we regulate email communication. We can only appeal to the good in the people. But regulations/legislation ? No way. I am totally against that. So the answer to your question is an affirmative no.

For me, this is a matter of moral and to be able to communicate person to person without this communication entering the puclic domain. That according to the road map I have had so far. But the terrain tells me that all confidential emails can now enter the public domain and I am in my right to dislike that. So all my road maps has just been put on a funeral pyre. Burn, burn, burn !

Being a stupid cow is actually a pretty basic human right. Ditto for being an idiot and a moronic t**t. It is my view that everyone can enjoy these basic human rights (as describe over) without them being held to account in the public domain unless you hold public office or are a public person trading on a false good reputation.

It is off course our human rights to avoid people like that as the plague they are.

This is inconsistent with your position as I understood it from our discussions about cctv. By this logic, if you walk out of your house, you relinquish your privacy when you show yourself - hence videotaping your public appearance wouldn't be violating your privacy, yet you were against it.

IMO discosing the contents of a letter of any kind depends directly on the letter's actual content - if the content was initially intended to be private, then disclosing it without permision is not ok. If I tell someone very personal, for example, I expect it not to hear it again from someone else after some time.

You cannot assume email is automatically private. You need to have a reasonable agreement with the person you are emailing, not an implied one based on the nature of the medium.

It's important in this conversation to differentiate between the legal and the ethical.

Or even just common courtesy. Needless to say, when you berate someone, you're going to get less of that.

Not that the young woman acted with decency, but the old one seems to be the type of person that deserves that treatment.

Yes.  I saw this on the Breakfast News.  She's a middle-class annoying idiot.

You can quote that too, if you like.

Well, I disagree with the sentiments expessed over. You are allowed to be an idiot in private without this being a matter of public  ridicule. It is called basic human rights.

If you share a confidence with someone and that trust is betrayed, no amount of Privacy legislation is going to protect you from your own errors of judgement.

I think Pat is against cameras because of the cost and pointlessness of them except for fascism (as I recall, they don't actually reduce crime), not for privacy. I can say that I personally believe that you have no privacy in public and can be videotaped or photographed. This is more or less the law in the US, unless you are a police officer...And people tend to throw a fit because they're irrational if THE CHILDREN are involved. But Pat and I agree that doing it makes her a jerk. We are objecting to this nonsense about violating human rights that torodd is talking about.

So you have sex and your partner broadcast all details, no skinfold unturned, on the net the day after. That is not a violation of your human rights ? I think so, but I am talking nonsense anyway according to yourself so she/he is free to broadcast this event in emails, forwarded to everyone and on this and other forums. Or alternative; by using hidden web cams. You are welcome to a society like this since you think I speak nonsense. I have my moral standards though & political views. For me; any human beings has their rights to privacy, and that includes email communications. You brand this as nonsense. Well...... Clap

I don't see anything in the UN Declaration of Human rights protecting the details of your sex life, do you? To be honest, I think it trivializes actual human rights abuses that actual people are suffering from right now when you conflate them with something as trivial as sharing an embarrassing email.

Morality has nothing to do with this. Nobody is arguing she did the right thing.

Funnily enough privacy and reputation actually are mentioned in the declaration of human rights (and in the context of correspondence). I didn't expect this.
