  • Yeah I mean it’s just a more easy to use Photoshop basically.

    I agree people need to understand better the privacy risks of social media.

    When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them.

    Expect, yeah I guess. Doesn’t mean we should tolerate it. I expect murder to happen on a daily basis. People editing images of me on their own devices and keeping that to themself, that’s their business. But if they edit photos of me and proliferate, I think it becomes my business. Fortunately, there are no photos of me on the internet.

    Edit: I basically agree with you regarding text content. I’m not sure why I feel different about images of me. Maybe because it’s a fingerprint. I don’t mind so much people editing pictures I post that don’t include my face. Hmm.




  • This sounds like a cool idea because it is a novel approach, and it appeals to my general heuristic of the inevitability of technology and freedom. However, I don’t think it’s actually a good idea. People are entitled privacy, on this I hope we agree – and I believe this is because of something more fundamental: people are entitled dignity. If you think we’ll reach a point in this lifetime where it will be too commonplace to be a threat to someone’s dignity, I just don’t agree.

    Not saying the solution is to ban the technology though.

    I did an honors math+cs degree. I’m pretty good at advanced math. I never learned long division. Don’t feel bad about that.

    (In case any other mathy people read this and wonder how I could understand ring theory without Euclid’s division algorithm, relax)
