Adakam 2 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Unpopular opinion, probably because I come from a country with a ton of crime on all possible levels, but is it really that bad? If you have nothing to hide whats the matter if they comb through your messages and stuff, and by the way, Im pretty sure it wouldnt be a human looking through everything you do, it doesnt make sense, it would be an algorithm that quickly combs through all your data looking for key words and phrases related to crime.

They can then sell this info to foreign governments, to corporations doing background checks, and to advertising companied. If you are an LGBT person, your safety could be compromised if you travel to a country where LGBT rights are not recognized. Your employer can discriminate against you because they know your sexual orientation. An adoption agency may deny your request because they know you’re intimate preferences. There’s a lot beyond just “i’m not doing something bad, i have nothing to worry about”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I would say that this law should include something that stops them from weaponizing that info but still allows them to look for crime-related activity.
