My specific worry is that given a little information about me a criminal could access enough information to do me harm. We live in a time where decades old tweets get celebrities in trouble. Who knows what opinions I hold now will be considered taboo in 20 years time? I get regular calls from scammers trying to tell me to invest in online trading or that my internet connection has been compromised. As poor parts of the world come online it's only natural they would find ways to extract money from the wealthier parts. There is often little ability and incentive for these countries to police such activities. As it stands my details are out there an public and there are more and more ways people are finding to abuse this information. Google knows every website I've visited. Facebook knows every ex I've looked up in a moment of weakness. All of this is on stored and could be used against me. Once the minor details of our pasts were forgotten, this is no longer the case and as I'm getting older I feel less and less comfortable about this. I've made mistakes, said things I'm not proud of, I'd like to avoid being tied to my online past. With the growing ability of facial recognition system I fear any online service that knows my face will easily be tied to me in real life. All a malicious actors will need is a camera and a system to scrap public facing systems for my data.
