Lmfao dude, what the, gag ball with ass flavour? Is that a real thing? Im totally with you though. Governments should not care about the possessions of an individual. The example might be a bit extreme, but its clear: at some point this big data collection and making the citizens transparent in any means, can backfire heavily.
Just think about the jews in netherlands that happily told the government at that time that they were jews when the stamping cards where newly invented and governments started to do statistics with this instrument. Some years later the nazis invaded the country and didnt have to search long for the jews they were looking for, they just had to use the data that was already collected and perfectly usable for them. You get were Im going?
Something similar can happen again. To any of us. People who feel that they have nothing to hide and therefore dont care about privacy, are just plain stupid in my opinion. But maybe thats just me.
