I’m ideologically transparency extremist. This means I want absolute openness for everyone. Overwhelming majority of people on lemmy and other places disagree with me, which means that statistically I’m wrong.
I have some strong arguments for my side and most argumentation from your side is just common trolling or logical fallacies, which makes me think that I’m correct.
Even with that, the software I use is probably more private than solid portion of members of this community, becuase almost everything I use is open source.
I want to give your side another chance. I hope for polite and fruitful discussion.
If someone takes all your money, the money is taken back, after demand of the owner of the account. The person who steal the money is prosecuted.
You can’t kill anyone without preparation.
Ads exist to present you a product, so you consider it in your decision making process.
How old are you? This seems like a relatively naive worldview, because it doesn’t take into account how crafty people can be. What if I transfer some money to you and then claim that you did it by impersonating me? There would be no provenance of what you could be capable of doing since all info is public. Of course if you’d rather keep your age to yourself that’s fine, since we’re not in that theoretical society now.
You can absolutely kill someone without preparation, especially when emotionally or politically motivated (out in public with a strong punch, elsewhere when the opportunity arises). Check out this page on wikipedia for some material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_passion
In a better world, ads would exist to do that. However as it is, they exist to push the viewer in any way possible to buy the product. If you see something in an ad, it means that the company marketing it has enough budget taken out of manufacturing and R&D to pay for the ad. So the vast majority of the time, if you see something in an ad it means the product is not that great. (edit: Because good products don’t tend to need ads as they speak for themselves and their existence travels by word-of-mouth. Also called “organic traffic” by SEO people)
I’m 16. Each accession of the bank account would be logged and it would be identifiable that you did that.
Okay, let my clarify: You can’t kill anyone without preparation and escape in a totally surveilled state.
I don’t think I can convince you on the matter of ads
Your honor, it looks like I did it because @garbage_world hacked into my account.
In a totally surveilled state, yeah you couldn’t escape. But the victim would be still dead and it wouldn’t have happened if their info was private.
Yeah but to be fair, I’m not the one posting with “Convince me otherwise” in the title ;)
Oh also, there may come a time when you change your mind and decide that you’d rather be more private than you are now. Since you’re not 18 yet that’s even more important, so even if you hate privacy, please know that you still need it in our world today. You do whatever you want as far as I’m concerned but strategicaly, it’s best to not reveal as much PII as you have in other comments of this thread in the future. Not for right now, but for the future yourself. This IS an interesting theory to explore, but just in case it doesn’t work out, please leave enough security for yourself to be able to change your mind.
Thanks for care
