This is a matter of public policy, not tech. As are your privacy concerns.
That's true, but I'm also cynical. Policy makers only have to serve up a phantom to instill fear into the general public and then they can drum up support for policies that appear to serve the public interest; for the sake of "protecting" the public.
Like data privacy concerns?
See the problem there? We disagree on what to be afraid of.
I suppose we will have to agree to disagree on that one. If you aren't concerned about the information that others collect on you and you don't care to imagine how it could be used against you then I'll stop there
Agreed. That's my point.
People really are afraid of things, or not afraid of things, all across a spectrum, and people rarely agree on everything that is serious.
Policy shouldn't be shaped by fear.
