Townhall: One of America’s Largest Cities Is Using a 1984 Tactic to Find Quarantine Violators<\/a> by Beth Baumann:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) announced a mandatory 14-day quarantine for those traveling from a handful of states and Puerto Rico. People are asked to quarantine if they were recently in: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah or Wisconsin.<\/p>

According to Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady, health officials will check a traveler’s social media accounts if they believe a person was recently in one of the states that require them to quarantine for 14 days.

It’s a “1984 tactic” to use a person’s social media postings where the person publicized where they were for all their friends or even the whole world? To me, that’s not a 1984 tactic because there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy in what one spreads on social media for others to see. They assume the risk people they wouldn’t want to read it might do so. That’s fundamentally a waiver of privacy. People under 50 have utterly no concept of privacy these days. The internet and smartphones changed everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
