Sadly we need laws passed to prevent the kind of prediction market leveled at me.
I do have a constitutional right to privacy as part of the bill of rights.
But the wealthy squirm out – it’s not their technology.
Hacking is pretty illegal, a GUI doesn’t change that.
Again wriggled out of the sight of the law – they’re not the ones hacking. Just benefitting.
Some lay in wait. Hacking in to phones and websites. Key loggers on hand. Viruses at the ready. Even AI geared to the ruin of work.
Extortion then follows some. But the rest just bet on if it works.
Stalking – illegal, dangerous. But same excuse if they’re just watching the outcome.
Cyberstalking might be separate. I’m not sure. The story would be more involved than a few Facebook posts and more along the line of hacking Amazon to watch me shop. Technically you’re not stealing. But it’s still invasive.
That constitutional right is looking more important.
Copyright law? They’re not technically making money.
Impugning someone’s character? Good luck doing anything about that in America
Slander is the same, and courts only care if the person is already successful. Not if it’s being prevented. If you could even present a case.
Racketeering?
Well the bastards likely argue they don’t specifically organize results. But you could make a case for it.
Particularly if you add sex trafficking, prostitution, drugs, and manslaughter into it.
Some not content to watch. Manipulating the outcome.
All invading my privacy.
Really we need new laws about callus, jaded activity responsible for other crimes – just to manipulate a bet or not.
We can also tie in the constitution. It’s not there just to wrangle the government.
I did wonder how this series of unlikely events kept happening to me.
I mean?
Oh that’s Sylvanna Devlin again? Yeah right.
Did she really escape a cult?
Did that make her weird?
No one has this shit happen so frequently and so close together.
Unless there’s money to be made.
