Yes, not saying it's perfect or couldn't be used for evil, just like the FBI isn't perfect and can be used for evil. We have to weigh the options and legislate in a way that mitigates the ways it can be used for bad things.
Again, just a few percent in efficiency could mean thousands upon thousands of lives saved. I'm sure a lot of HIV positive people who were mistreated would've loved that.
- vertex-four 8y agoFWIW, this isn't a "could be" used for evil, it's a "will be" - there's no particular reason why Government databases of people with certain characteristics have been used to oppress and murder people in the past, but won't in the future. I'm young enough, and there's enough public opposition to people with my medical history, that there's a very high chance that my country decides that I no longer deserve protection of my human rights at some point in the next century at the very least - so I'd like to make it a little bit harder for them to figure it out.
