- Kbelicius 6y agoHow would it give "too much control" to the government and why is it better that that control be in private hands?
- askmike 6y ago> How would it give "too much control" to the government It might allow the government to combine data it has on citizens with this data. On top of the fact that in that situation one single entity (the government) would see everything from everyone. > why is it better that that control be in private hands? That argument is not being made. But right now you got Apple and Google competing, and new players might compete with those two at some point to. If you got a government no one can compete with that controls this data on everyone (as opposed to it currently being split between two big providers).
