If you don't value being left alone, then you might not understand that freedom, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I value the freedom to be left alone above all other freedoms. I rather thought you knew that. how could you possibly argue that being followed and snooped on is not a violation of one's freedom? I thought I spoke to that already. If I were required to provide some information--do some work--rather than go about my business oblivious to the snooping, I would object strenuously to that. right and freedom to be left unmolested, alone, uninterfered with, unobserved, unfollowed. I guess that's at the root of our difference. Watching and interfering to me have a salient difference. Don't get me wrong--I don't want to be followed, but following is just not the same as interfering.
