A group Criminal obtained personal details for one of the largest anonymous forums Sweden. Made to frighten, intimidate, and political opponents in the forum under the protection of anonymity, collateral damage is immeasurable.
People have never been fired for private photos exposed. However, people were fired, expelled, and divorced for private opinion exposed - and still are. This highlights the asymmetry privacy leaks are reported on widely (nude) and those that are not (violations of anonymity). It is disheartening to see the high concentration of oldmedia on anything sexually distance, combined with the total lack of interest in things that build (or threaten) the foundations of society.
Anonymity is such a foundation. The ability to speak anonymously is a key principle of freedom of expression, unless you're in the Cuban version:
"Of course, you have the freedom of speech, but I can not guarantee freedom after speech. "- Fidel Castro
opinions should be able to exist without considering someone for them, or the company will not evolve
Everyone naked from time to time .. the children, as evidenced by, well, children. While it is supposed to be kept secret, nobody is really surprised or shocked that this happens then when the time surface images in time (like behaviors have evolved to take pictures of everything today), it's embarrassing - but not much more
When bad surface of opinions, it ends the career of the roof and somebody marriage. What's worse - this is sometimes the result fine of those who seek to identify someone behind a policy, but anonymous opinion. But the anonymous opinions are as crucial for democracy that secret elections.
Freedom of expression can be summarized as "The right to utter cretins to be completely false" and accurate. This is a good thing
freedom of expression has never been necessary to protect traditional :. Expressing opinions that kittens are cute and Game of Thrones takes too much time between seasons. and when someone says something well respected despicable, they are still protected by the institution. However, when someone scorned said something totally unpleasant, is where freedom of speech intervenes to protect the declaration.
this is what freedom of expression is to
for in the end, it can turn in one of two ways. either despised were wrong, in this case, not hurt. Or they were right, in this case, they did a great service to civilization by taking the risk of exposing with a controversial statement.
Examples of such statements that may just until recently ended someone's career, marriage and housing:
- "people arriving to be born homosexual must have exactly the same rights as all others. "
- " Maybe we would all benefit from the legalization of cannabis. It seems that the alcohol industry and the prison are those who pay more to keep illegal. I wonder if there is a connection. "
- " I think people who come to be born a woman should be able to have a career like everything in today's workforce. "
Much less that there is a human life, it is extremely controversial statements. They would get you shunned . It is thanks to troublemakers who exercised freedom of expression, sometimes a necessary cover of anonymity, that the company has progressed. (Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, these statements are still controversial.)
This even begin to go into collateral damage opponents outing for political scare into not exercising their freedoms of expression and opinion:
Imagine if each disposable account on Reddit was suddenly doxed and identified . just / r / offmychest would be a disaster. Not to mention / r / abusevictims. This is the local equivalent in Sweden, and it just happened.
This criminal group caused damage incommensurable to the fabric of trust in society.
Privacy remains your own responsibility.
