Exactly this. If it doesn't meet your standards, don't use it. Alternatively, go fork yourself.

Non-existent is seemingly hyperbole (never been to Japan) but I can imagine it might be shocking if OP were from NA and he/she are actually witnessing traffic volumes cut in half or more.

Like you say, legal barriers can only prevent things that rely on a legal market, like insurance carriers from discriminating against people's genetic makeup. Against genetic weaponization and other state-sponsored uses it would be a

No, that's a bad analogy. Following someone is manpower intensive. A better analogy would be sending someone to observe your hair color -- do you mind if that's public? As the value of DNA increases, people will collect it. Res

Security through obscurity. That's all you're proposing. Your DNA is out there. You're constantly leaving your muck wherever you go. As its value increases people will continue to harvest it: your favorite restaurants, you

Why do we care? Trying to keep genetic identity anonymous is security through obscurity. You have shed thousands of skin cells in the time it took for you to read this. If people want your DNA it's trivial to collect -- and will only

Are you claiming that a mutual funds' performance evenly benefits anyone with a 401k? In the last 40 years 0.00025% of Americans have tripled their share of the wealth. Of course everyone with a 401k has benefited but they are nowhe

I swear half the people on this website are social automatons. "Hey, you're so ugly people get paid to message you! Thanks for using our service!" There is no way this would go over well.

Again, that is not what we're talking about. Media coverage tells you nothing about the authenticity of a whistleblower. You have not demonstrated any useful criterion for identifying 'fake' whistleblowers other than "I

You need to re-read what I wrote. My claim is that media coverage cannot say anything meaningful about the authenticity of a whistleblower. To say otherwise is a terrible argument -- Snowden himself had widespread media coverage, both posit

Well we could strive for a base level of critical thinking, something clearly missing from your statement. A whistleblower that is heavily covered in the media because he or she aligns with the orginization's goals (sell headlines) is
