Goverments and intelligence agencies can't target everyone. But they can gather data for future use. So if you don't give them your data you won't be targeted in the future.
- pdimitar 4y agoThis goes both ways, the lack of the usual amount of data about you is a data point in itself. `SELECT * from citizens where data_points < 50;` And then somebody aims a botnet armed with zero-days in your direction. But yeah, that requires dedicated adversaries that actually notice you -- which is not a given, I'll agree.
- dorgo 4y agoIf they have to run a query and pay for the botnet I already won a small battle.
- geraneum 4y agoThis is a good point. I would say we shouldn’t make it easy for the governments to access the data as well as private interest or companies. These are not mutually exclusive. EU privacy laws are a step in the right direction. It’s progress. We can build on it.
