-
Confidentiality. Or porn. One of those things.

yeah this whole article was an unnecessary rant which the author realized only after publishing.
Update: A reader writes in with an obvious comment that did not occur to me:
The obvious reason not to let people put things on the screens you own in public is that invariably people will put porn on them, and then you'll have other people complaining that the united screen system is showing porn.
They don't say this because no corporate PR hack is going to talk about porn when it's not necessary. But it's definitely the real reason, and it's one they will not and should not budge on.

I always thought it was so whatever company they contract with could show their brainwash ads

It would be pretty easy to require accepting a screenshare with a button press on the target screen. So I don't think trolling other people's displays is the main concern.

Seems you don’t understand how often people just click ‘OK’ without thinking.

Ah, the times when all phones and laptops in Tesco were unlocked for testing by customers and playing porn every day.

Ahh yes, the Volokh Conspiracy:
We're clever enough to come up with a superficially consistent frameworks that permit our awfulness, therefore we should!

I'm already annoyed when someone is using their phone and doesn't adjust the brightness settings.
If you do this during night flights, sincerely, fuck you.

There are very very few things that I believe deserve summary and immediate execution, and that's just made the list.

You joke, but I have absolutely created an ad-hoc wireless network and gamed with people I'm traveling with on a flight before.

People can’t behave themselves in public. Even more so on airplanes.

How?! How can they stand it themselves and not feel like they're being blinded?

I don’t like how we have to limit everything to the lowest denominator at the punishment of everyone

I just want to know when I can connect my noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones to the display instead of the tinny pair of wired "maraccas" that I keep in my travel bag.
