alt Hacker NewsYes, it still sounds ludicrous if you put it that way. If you want a contractual agreement for privacy then pay for it. Everything is available — for a price. But a civil agreement can't bind a counterparty to conceal evidence of a crime.

Wow. Now that is a weird and interesting take. Paying for privacy. Wow. I guess next we will be paying for respect too.
Privacy should be an offer from the start if it's not mandatory. It shouldn't need special negotiation.

Are you talking about a different scenario? In a chatbot situation, the crime of "threat" requires snooping to even be possible. If the data is private there is no crime to begin with.
