Privacy
Real question: Does the interest in privacy change substantively when technological changes have us blabbing about everything from our daily eating to sexual preferences in minute detail? When 'selfies' is likely to be added to Webster's, if it hadn't already?
Are there going to be different categories of coverage for people depending on how public they are with their bizness, kind of like libel law?
I'm curious.
I like this quote from Roxane Gay: "The Scrabble game I’m playing online knows I recently visited Home Depot to buy metal shelving and keeps displaying Home Depot ads. If that’s possible, then yes, it’s not a reach to see that the government is probably in my business, too." (From her Tumblr )
