In the hands of a trustworthy government that data would actually be useful to curb ethnic violence because you know where to deploy forces in the event something happens.
Then again, "trustworthiness" is not exactly a strength of an average African government so far.
- brokenmachine 8y ago>"In the hands of a trustworthy government". Is there such a thing as a trustworthy government?
- bayesian_horse 8y agoTrustworthiness is not an absolute thing. I trust my German government pretty far though, because I know I and my people can eventually hold them responsible for most things. The U.S. government, in most things, I also -mostly- trust, maybe not that far, but a lot farther than Russia or China. And yes, I'd much rather have the NSA spy on me, than Russia and China. And that often is the choice when choosing technologies.
