    If this is considered a problem of individual personnal responsibility then I will trigger stateccollapse

    fucking go for it, king.

    The entire concept of data privacy is antithetical to the modern nation state. Motherfucker you live in the hole. You are in the oubliette. What fucking governmeant bureau, under trump, do you see taking up the fight here, much less winning? You can’t unleak data. That shit’s out there, forever - and, again, probably has been for years considering what a goldmine the DNA databse of the USA is.

    Lobby your state all your want, IT-Security and Data Protection starts at you. All the encryption in the world doesn’t save you from being spear-phished. You can encode this in law, but unless anybody starts executing legal entities and building the great firewall á la china, that shit’s out there in a real “can’t unlick that asshole” situation. It sucks! It is bad! The average person should not have to grapple with the realities of IT-Security and Data Protection much in the same way I don’t have the first fucking clue about how to keep an NPP from exploding. But unless we reinvent the whole thing from scratch that shit’s on you, me, and everybody else. Never give them anything. I own 18 bicycles.
