That's an absurd argument, any data can be leaked. Your bank data can be leaked, mine was, should bank be banned to hold any personal data for that reason?
- WA 7y agoOf course. But not every service needs the same amount of personal data like a bank account. Just think of all the apps that want access to your contacts, often for no particular reason. Obviously, if fewer services collect data, the overall chance of lots of data being leaked goes down.

Just think of all the apps that want access to your contacts, often for no particular reason. I'm not arguing whether data can be collected with wrong intends. I'm arguing that the fact that it can be leaked isn't an argument in itself because everything can be leaked.
- skinnymuch 7y agoThe person you’re replying to was quoting you saying no data collection should be done. Now you’re saying banks have to collect data and saying other things. So you do agree data does have to be collected at some level?
- WA 7y agoYes I do agree. But not on the scale it is collected right now. Please also note that I basically repeated what Snowden said in the video.
