> I can look out my window and straight into my neighbour's bathroom. Is that public information?
Yes. And there have been numerous court cases confirming this (why we have paparazzi taking topless photos on people on private beaches from public vantage points).
I think this is a feature, not a bug, as without a straightforward rule I don’t know how society solves this without causing more harm. If something is public, it’s public. Restricting you from looking in your neighbors open window isn’t something that can realistically be “fixed.” Other than if I don’t want my neighbor to look in, I draw the blinds. This works for paupers and billionaires.
If I don’t want people to see things, I don’t make them public. I can’t set a limit of “only people making less than $20k are allowed to view this.”
