I'm completely ok with the police asking me for video from my doorbell. I'm not ok with the police using the third party doctrine and asking the hosting service for my video without asking me. That video is every bit my property as the files in my desk drawer and should be subject to the same protections.

It's a mistake to trust a cloud service with your data and expect no one to take advantage of the fact that they are the ones holding it.

If the so-called liberal Western regimes respected privacy rights they way they claim to it would be perfectly reasonable to trust a cloud provider with your data.

>>goodSt+Yi
I think I'm not understanding your point. GDPR seems to be the current gold standard for privacy at the moment. Are there any similar policies in non-western nations to speak of?

>>itisha+6v
How is what non-western countries do relevant to the question of if western governments actually practice the values they claim to hold?

>>goodSt+TK
You're making this out to be a western problem, but I suspect it's actually a general human thing. Actually, I have a hunch that the west has made more progress here than anywhere else, and I'm curious if anyone disagrees.

>>itisha+e31
I doubt anyone would disagree with that statement. Would you agree that the actions of western leaders reveal their liberalism is superficial?

>>goodSt+nn1
Somewhat, sure. They certainly haven't achieved 100% of the liberal ideal. But if they're currently setting the bar for policy in this regard, can it be entirely superficial?

>>itisha+4G1
Yes and it is. If they actually believed in libety or democracy they wouldnt drag their feet like this and be content with merely bei g “more liberal” than your standard dictatorship.
