You quickly moved into hyperbole. You may not be rounded up, “just” unable to get a job, health insurance or car insurance (at viable prices). If you are an activist, you may get arrested for an unrelated crime, like getting stopped after you had a few drinks (because geolocation) or discredited if you are not out as a gay person or for anything else which might garnish your image in any way. Your ability to fly, or your airport experience could be influenced by invisible forces like driving around certain places or writing favorably toward certain policies or religions. If you are a good looking woman you may be creepily stalked and tracked. And let’s not kid ourself about the fact that more and more of this data will be sold and resold until it becomes a commodity available to anyone who is willing to pay a nominal price. Believing in the story that your activity and data don’t matter because you don’t matter is in a way resigning to never become someone who might matter. And this is by design. Privacy matters a huge deal. Especially in an assymetric situation. https://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters/up-next https://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matter...
