Goverments and intelligence agencies can't target everyone. But they can gather data for future use. So if you don't give them your data you won't be targeted in the future.

This goes both ways, the lack of the usual amount of data about you is a data point in itself.

`SELECT * from citizens where data_points < 50;`

And then somebody aims a botnet armed with zero-days in your direction. But yeah, that requires dedicated adversaries that actually notice you -- which is not a given, I'll agree.

If they have to run a query and pay for the botnet I already won a small battle.

This is a good point. I would say we shouldn’t make it easy for the governments to access the data as well as private interest or companies. These are not mutually exclusive.

EU privacy laws are a step in the right direction. It’s progress. We can build on it.
