We do need to introduce privacy, data collection limit laws, and it is absurd the current status quo of our system.
Nonetheless, all the information you referenced is already available. I don’t know how, but I need merely start buying data from a handful of vendors. They have your browser and system fingerprints, the nodes that you connected through, etc.
and I'm telling you that that is surface level shit compared to some of what I've seen collected during my time as a federal contractor.
Crime statistics? Go ahead and publish it in full.
Literally everything they've ever collected? Bad idea.
National security reasons or philosophical ones?
More philosophical. Imagine if the government published every post you typed up but decided not to send and had the video and system evidence to back it.
People really have absolutely no idea how deep the rabbit hole can go.
Sucks to be them, i used incognito mode. I'm such a hackerman!
