More likely it'll be the small elite (who stay private) maximizing profits using the info that the vast majority made public. Those who make their "private" info public will likely on average pay higher interest & insurance rates, have smaller salaries after taking longer to find jobs, etc.
- wpietri 14y agoHonestly, that's one of the better outcomes. Imagine an oligarchy where the elite knows your genetic profile, your social activity, your daily habits, and your deviations from normal behavior. They may know before you do when you're starting to get restive, and will certainly be able to defuse or destroy any resistance. A fun novel relating to this is Daniel Suarez's "Kill Decision".
- genwin 14y agoThanks for the recommend! The book 1984 also paints a world like that.
