If a human right is in the way of your "innovative" technology, the expected solution should be to modify your technology to respect this human right, not to reduce the protections to this human right.

@Em0nM4stodon it really is wild how often ‘no, the fundamental right is wrong’ comes up lately

@Em0nM4stodon I see this all the time in election tech, especially from blockchain bros. When you point out that their system compromises ballot secrecy, they suddenly have all sorts of reasons why the secret ballot isn't important.

The logic is the same as a robber's.
"If I rob this bank, I will have a lot of money. So I robbed the bank and now I have all this money. I cannot believe you, the Courts, are trying to prosecute me for this! The law that forbade me from robbing this bank is wrong, and illegal, and should be voided on the grounds that (1) it prevented me from getting all this money and (2) now seeks to deprive me of all this money"

@purple @Em0nM4stodon The kind of people who get to where they can "invent" and promote an "innovative" technology
generally got to that point by trampling over the rights, dignity, wellbeing, and/or lives of an uncounted number of innocent people (underpaid workers, deceived customers, people living near factories, etc).
That selects for a certain kind of person. The idea that anybody else has any right to anything they want to steal or destroy is probably a thought they're not able to have.

@Em0nM4stodon the "tech" was never the point in the first place. So getting it right is non-starter for these people.
These assholes are ideologically driven. The assault on Wikipedia isn't capturing webpage traffic. All of this is intended to create a digital ghetto that will last for generations. Self-appointed pharos building dark-enlightenment pyramids they intend to be buried in.

@Em0nM4stodon Was disgusted to read about how they're going down this route in Japan, of all places, which has always had a great privacy culture:
Japan relaxes privacy laws to make AI development easy
: Opting out of personal data use won't be an option because Minister says that's a 'very big obstacle' to AI adoption

@muddle @Em0nM4stodon insane... and for what!? To push support for a technology that pretty much never delivered anything usefull..? Lobbying must be pretty strong in Japan...

@Disreputable_Craftsman @Em0nM4stodon I think that the very simplistic answer is that you've got a populist, right-wing government in power and also a powerful techbro-adjacent lobby (mainly based out of Fukuoka? maybe not; but they're highly indicative of where the techbro push is coming from/through). So add ignorance to hype and this is, unfortunately, a predictable outcome.

@muddle @Em0nM4stodon robbing people of privacy and agency is making some techbros trillionaires but does not enrich society. Theft never made any country great, respect for individual rights did.
Unfortunately when stock markets are amoral and short termist they create immense firepower and incentives to buy off idiot or corrupt politicians. It remains an open challenge how to benefit from all sorts of algorithmic tools without drifting further into a dystopic society.

@Em0nM4stodon Yes. And should not need to be said.

@Em0nM4stodon That's why legislations to regulate technology often do fuck all. The underlying problem is that the legislators refuse to protect your human rights.
