Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
The value of data by far surpasses any risk involved with it. If people were more honest, transparent and straightforward, we would have a much more tolerant society. Everything would be much more efficient. Crowd sourcing of health data would be facilitated, and we probably would have greater understanding of health and be able to cure many diseases.
All arguments in favor of privacy naturally lead to the conclusion that we should get rid of the internet. And probably communication in general. Heck, make people blind and deaf, that'll solve the privacy problem. People are deluded.
Just one of the many instances where so-called progressive people blindly support an inherently conservative cause.
