Consumer Privacy Can Be SOOOOOO Annoying!
March 12, 2007
Perhaps it's simply a matter of having worked so long in a marketing niche that outputs only upon user-initiated input -- and questions seeking answers at that -- individuated down even to the syllable level, transmitted from the mind to the fingertips, each single atomic instance of the exchange a mutual handshake, rather than a phone-ringing, paper-flinging, desktop-hijacking raid.
Perhaps not. Perhaps I value privacy at some hermit-level degree and just haven't left my cave enough to yet realize it. But I find some of the assumptions inherent in this whining blurb about the fictional consumer "Katy" from Do-Not-Mail Movement Gains Traction in State Legislatures to be a particularly offensive note in the bittersweet AdAge symphony of interruption marketing rationalization:
Having clearly established her ability to bad-mouth your brand on her blog, TiVo your TV commercials, stop your phone calls and filter out your pop-ups, now-with the help of the government-she's trying to stop you getting access to her mailbox.
Is this blistering self-parody or have they finally jumped the shark into totalitarianism?
Consumer rights? Let them eat cake!
