I'm not sure what makes you think commercial endeavours are less susceptible to human frailty than government.
The problem here is not which type of organisation holds the data; it's the fact that individual humans are involved in using it.
- paganel 8y agoPlease see my reply bellow, I didn’t say that I approve of private entities collecting data, it’s just that governments are a lot more powerful compared to companies. Just to give an easy example, an entity like the US government can have me extradited and imprisoned in the US even though I have never set foot on that side of the Atlantic while companies like FB or Google can’t, for the moment.
