    No, not really, this was not a government agency or indeed any corporation that outed him. This was his daughter publishing the video. I'm unsure what your argument saying that there are actually are any. Who's privacy are you saying was violated in this case? (hint: who's bedroom was it, and who was in a state of undress?) This is not a case of governmental snooping.

    You think that privacy implications trump the disclosure of obvious criminal child abuse

    Who ever said that? Who ever said anything remotely like that?

    Most people won't be able to see how this situation is (generally) privacy related, they'll be focused too narrowly. That's okay. But don't make wrong assumptions about what my stance is on the very specific issue of this man's right to privacy versus that girl's right to justice.

    People were bound to read into what I said, even though I said nothing about that particular matter. Expectations and narrow focus make people troll themselves.

    For those with the ability, I am prompting discussion of the more general implications of how democratized data capture affects everyone's privacy. And I can't stress strongly enough how this generalized trend is something we should be keeping our eyes on. Taken to the extreme, it means eventually that no one, whether acting evilly or good, will have any privacy at all. Discuss.

    I completely disagree with your premise here. Privacy concerns have no place in situations of child abuse. There is indeed a line regarding privacy of events and actions in private situations, however in this case that line is about 3 timeszones back that way. The only 'implication' inferrable from this regarding privacy is that if you break the law and someone records it then any expectations of privacy are delusional.

    To take this as an indicator of the extreme end of this being zero expectactions of privacy in any scenario is just a strawman argument. To wit, this case and privacy 'implications' have zero to do with each other.

  7. well hang on on No Charges For Child-Whipping Judge Caught On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Look at it this way, this is physical abuse, and imo sexual molestation of a young woman. THis was not about retribution for her actions, what is clear from the video is that this was about control and domination. He violated his own daughter, in his own way, for his own ends. Its not a liberal viewpoint to regard that as wrong.

    This plan would have been totally counterproductive, and would more likely cause even more pupils to be disenfranchised, and disengage from, the education system. Far from raising the lowest, it would more likely cast them adrift!
