    It’s not a crime if it’s not discovered?

    Someone ought to tell his wife to get STI tests done pronto.

    This is the type of motherfucker to say:

    “Well I raped you while you were drunk asleep, and you didn’t wake up, so was it really rape?”

    So what I’m hearing is that theft doesn’t exist if no one is caught. Right? Supermarket chains etc. complaining of theft from any source other than recovered goods from said theft should be null and void.

    “Congressman, here is a supercut of every time you’ve taken a shit in the last five years. I’ve been posting updates on an invite-only website. Every member of your staff is in there, and they LOVE seeing each pained expression you make. But you didn’t know, so I didn’t violate your privacy.”

    Hey look, yet another GQP talking point that boils down to not understanding (or willfully dismissing) the idea of consent. Rapists one and all.

    If I kill someone without them noticing I would not be a murderer by that logic.

    Alrighty, so we’ll install hidden cameras in all the showers in your home. You won’t know about it, so you won’t mind either

    People in the US have less privacy rights than Chinese people. They have the amount of privacy that corporations permits.

    If they put cameras in your bathroom and you are not aware, your privacy wasn’t violated.

    There’s a reason they own all the major operating systems, messaging apps, social media platforms, cloud infrastructure and spy agencies.

    There’s always going to be some deliberate loopholes and exploits in or between the supply-chain to get to you when you’re inside their ecosystem.

    But some companies promise you’re “secure” and “private” if you use one of their expensive, shiny offerings. They swear it on their marketing, ads and PR releases.

    It’s that comfy feels of paying more for a false sense of privacy and security that matters.

    tldr; Use Linux and open source.
