I agree! So why are you letting third parties get that information without you having any ability to provide or decline consent?

You think people don't do things that are illegal?
> no one seems to actually have thought through their position
Can you explain that better?

I think that much is clear.

- your work is not yours if done for others. It is theirs. You get the paycheck in return.
- it is also illegal to steal from homes. Do you lock your front door?
- I think it should be my right to share the details of my work with anyone.
- It's already illegal to discriminate against people because they have cancer, and I don't think that imperfect enforcement of privacy on the internet is going to significantly affect anyone's chances of this happening to them.
- If someone does something and faces consequences for it, I don't think that's a bad thing.
Honestly seeing people's responses here and elsewhere on the internet is kind of a Kafkaesque experience for me because everyone seems so convinced that internet privacy is valuable yet no one seems to actually have thought through their position (no offense to you personally). I guess I can only conclude that my base values differ in this area.
