Jews in 1920s didn't have much issue with the German government knowing about their faith, fast forward 1933...

God knows what they'll use it for in the future, they'll know everything about you, who you voted for 15 years ago, what joke you make 20 years ago against the now-in-charge cast, do you sympathise with communist ideas ? Did you like or hate Musk before he becomes a dictator of the now independent Republic of Texas ? Did you use grinder ? Well too bad, homosexuality is now punishable by death retroactively. Looks like you illegally contacted a doctor for an abortion in 2027, that'll be 6 months of jail and a 30k fine ;)

You don't see the problem because you live in an abnormally quiet and abnormally peaceful (for you) time. The thing is your data is forever, the state of peace not so much

Why do people think that this hypothetical future evil government is going to care whether the people they persecute are actually guilty of “crimes”?

Despotic regimes have never had a problem finding plenty of people to kill. They aren’t going to be thwarted in their pursuit of LGBTQ people because they can’t get a list of people who used Grindr.

Because it doesn't have to be literal Hitler coming back. Just look at the abortion situation in the US. What is legal now might not be tomorrow, and we don't have to go turbo dictatorship mode for that
