So you're okay with someone following you 24/7/365 every moment that you step outside your house? By definition, this type of surveillance data would still be public information.
One problem with the current state of the privacy debate is this sort of hyperbole.
No, I’m not. I delineate between information people intentionally cast publicly—even if they don’t understand the consequences of doing so—and information that occurs in public. My location, tracked by my phone and router to various apps’ servers, occurs in public. My tweets, on the other hand, are intentionally broadcast. There is a lot of grey area between these poles, but intent broadly inspires my thinking.
Extending “I’m fine with the U.S. military analysing social-media posts” to “okay with someone following you 24/7/365 every moment that you step outside your house” is hyperbolic. Framed as a question, on the other hand, it invites discussion.
As such, my point stands.
> Information on social media is public or semi-public. Fair game, and I’m curious about the results."
