A lot of fuss has been made recently over the fact that the NSA has been collecting your phone records from Verizon and other telecommunications companies. Wake up: they’ve been watching you for a long time! But why are you pretending like you really care about your privacy? And, if you do actually care, why are you checking-in to every coffee shop, restaurant or bar you frequent? Why must you tag a location on every post?
The funny thing is I could care less about privacy, or at least I came to terms a long time ago that it doesn’t exist online anymore, yet I would never check-in anywhere publicly again, and I loathe every status update I see that does that. I don’t care that you’re taking your dog for a walk in the park, or going to Sizzler for dinner, and neither does anybody else. Instead of checking-in, maybe you should check-yourself-out first.
They should just rename Foursquare to ‘Square’ because that’s exactly what you are if you constantly share your location with others!
Good talk.
We’ve met the problem, it’s us. We want privacy while in public.
