| said by nixen  :Well, "if you have nothing to hide..."  That has nothing to do with ethics. If anything, anonymity (falsely) implies illegality. Laws and ethics, while they can co-mingle, do not infer one or the other.
Put it this way. I'm an average Joe citizen...but I wouldn't like my supermarket shopping records being held - its just my personal opinion that they don't *need* to retain that information. Wether my opinion goes anywhere legally is irrelevant. To call me "unethical" simply because I don't like to be known to businesses/corporations as a database entry doesn't make any sense.
I may as well call people who like really spicy food unethical. |
