Do you understand that your own government has even more power over you than a foreign one? It's in your best interest that no government collects this kind of data about you.

The country that you reside in has the most power over you simply by virtue of having an active police force and/or military. No need for any data collection whatsoever.

People had their life ruined for a tweet from a decade ago. Now imagine your whole life is tweeted minute by minute. Even if the current government won't hang you, it doesn't mean the next one won't do it for the things that are legal and completely normal today.

But don’t forget that you also have much more power over your government than a foreign one.
