violation of privacy.
There are individuals in the German train, that have phone conversations on their smartphone about their family members, their status of dementia, incapacitation (Entmündigung, which legally doesn’t exist anymore in Germany) and compulsory admission (Zwangseinweisung). Those individuals are not aware that their smartphone conversation is violating the privacy of their communication partner, why? Their phone shows up in Network connections. Who wants to hear about other families problems in a public train ride? About age discrimination and embarrassment of dependents. Glad they didn’t talk about their erectile dysfunction (of course not, they would never embarras themselves what they do so thoughtless about their loved ones) . Didn’t want to hear that either. They didn’t need to talk about their social incompetency, it was obvious for everybody that had to listen. Their false understanding is the fact that a private conversation in a public place isn’t private, just because of anonymity.
The Conversation, 1974.
This deserves today’s Computer Detectives Intercouse-Stupid Certificate.
the conversation is broadcasted without reasonable option to comment. Commenting about this out of place conversation would trigger public aggression, so involuntarily listeners keep their mouth shut.
This is different to the writing in this blog, there is a reasonable option to comment and privacy is violated therefore the violation of privacy is documented here.
