We have been doing the census for hundreds of years and it seems to go pretty okay.
If someone wants to map your name to your home address, they already have the voter registration database for that.
- danmg 7y agoIt's all the data that's not census data and the fact that it's joined with census data. Why is this data joined with tax information, calls to fire departments, and bike share information?
- jrockway 7y agoBecause people use their real name as the primary key in almost every database? The census team did not steal Lyft's database and leak it.
- danmg 7y agoYes it's their fault for using their own name. It's not the fault of the people keeping creepy dossiers on random customers that creates this hazard.
