That "it's normal" that governments have secrets is something that should be of the past. It goes hand-in-hand with the existence of conflicts and international tensions. Which I also think should be of the past, for the sake of it. Then there is the way to manage lots of citizens while protecting their privacy, and for that we already have a lot of anonymization techs, using hashs, and sym or asym ciphers, etc... that's just a matter of now doing it instead of just knowing how we can do it...

It probably wont for a long time so grow up. > Which I also think should be of the past, for the sake of it. Then there is the way to manage same as above, I agree with you, but reality is what it is. > that's just a matter of now doing it instead of just knowing how we can do it... Yup again agree with you. But the responsibility is on you. I really don't know why people expect it from someone else, even the government.

    > Just because the law requires us to give our data to the government Not sure where you live but if you're giving too much information over by law, you should leave. Giving your address, Name, maybe Citizenship and birthday to your government is not as crazy as it sounds.

      You are forgetting, for example, your income data, your marital status, your penal history, your real estate, and not to mention any data gathered while doing some police investigation even if just brushing past your shoulder. Also, your health history.

  Nothing will ever change if no one expresses their desire for it to. New ideas and ways of life only win out when the people chanting "it is what it is" are drowned out by those shouting "it shouldn't be so!"

  The world does not work that way because you are unable to shape it. Of course it could be different.
