    Well sure, but to what degree, that’s sort of different.

    People argued hard against a census when it was introduced, but we our modern systems require information of the populace.

    As long as the government isn’t corrupt as fuck and doesn’t excessively pry into the lives of it’s private citizens, I’m okay.

    But then we face the issue on not a single government filling that criteria.

      I’m okay.

      I’m not. Any given entity should have the minimum information necessary to perform its function.

      Look at everyone freaking out when the regime changes, and then the next time they regain control, they again support even more expansion of power. And then the regime changes again and they’re worried about abuse of power again.

      Don’t trust an org because it’s benevolent today. Management changes, breaches happen, etc. An org should only have the info it actually needs.
