    Yeah but that’s a defined period on a video communication app. If I’m getting changed in my room and I get a message about my camera…

      That is unjustifiable but not what I mean. An ex colleague of mine runs a company with some really questionable policies, but if you want to work there you have to agree. One of those policies is that your camera has to be on at all times during business hours. If you live in a studio apartment, then you better get dressed in the bathroom.

        Again though, connected to an agreed time frame and with compensation. That’s a shit contract but one nonetheless. You keep bringing these examples and it’s going to start looking like you’re okay with the school spying on kids.

          On the contrary, I think the practice is despicable. I don’t trust that companies or schools, or individuals in general will refrain from abusing power. Just because I do not trust, doesn’t mean I condone.

          Once my colleague shifted into that dystopian business model which also included idle timers, key loggers, etc., I drifted away from him, as did many others in our group. The fucked thing about it all is that thanks to that, he is now a billionaire. This world is fucked.

            It’s exploitation all the way down. Always was, but it doesn’t always have to be.
