Currently the privacy pendulum is all the way in the free-for-all territory.
- Consider that it takes only one breach and all other measures you've ever taken to protect data is wasted.
- Data can be used in the future in unforseen ways, you don't know by whom and what for.
- Most people don't understand how databases work and think in terms of individual data ("who would care about X") and are therefore careless with their data.
It's the term "extreme privacy" that does not make sense in a time where you can't really have "basic privacy" any more.
Got any more insight into that topic? Or maybe do you underestimate the consequences of the ongoing collection and aggregation of data?
