“Congressman, here is a supercut of every time you’ve taken a shit in the last five years. I’ve been posting updates on an invite-only website. Every member of your staff is in there, and they LOVE seeing each pained expression you make. But you didn’t know, so I didn’t violate your privacy.”

Mike Rogers has been IGNORING privacy violation complaints for ten years*!

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

No that's a violation of the law, your trust, and your privacy.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 hours ago

Alrighty, so we'll install hidden cameras in all the showers in your home. You won't know about it, so you won't mind either
