Hi. I recently had some issues with my lemmy client which made me accidentally post the exact same thing here twice. The posts were about privacy on my school issued computer. I could have made it more clear, but I wanted privacy from the companies that make their spyware not from the school that owns the computer. Anyway, as of now one post has more than 40 upvotes and less than 5 down. The other has 10 up and 5 down as well as significantly less helpful and more critical comments. My hypothesis is whether the early comments were helpful or critical determined what other people said. I am curios to see what everyone thinks of this.

    people start ranting about how you don’t have an expectation of privacy at school or work.

    That my dear, is patent bullshit. Anyone who does this is absolutely 100% WRONG and you should not be shy about it. Tell them to stfu and block them if needed.

    You always have a basic expectation and right of privacy. What actually changes, is “what invasions of that privacy is common and accepted as necessary”. 95% of the time you do have every right to be aggrieved, pissed, upset, and perfectly right to have a discussion about those rights being invaded.

    Do not suffer fools who would shout you down to shut your objections down.
