Re: no data would be stored for longer than a few seconds
Following this logic:
If you really care about being tracked:
- Don't go to stores
- Don't shop online
- Only pay cash
- Don't visit London (or the UK in general)
- Don't visit China
- Don't drive where there are traffic cameras
- Avoid police officers who have body cameras
- Don't fly
- Don't take the bus
- Don't use public roadways
- Don't use the internet
- Don't get a passport
- Don't borrow books from a library
- Don't use Facebook
- Don't get a mobile phone
- Avoid others who have mobile phones
- Don't get smart devices
- Avoid visiting people who have smart devices
- etc, etc
At some point we have to consider drawing a line. We're at a juncture. Either we take the plunge and go all-in or we pull back while we still can.
The trouble with liberal democracy is that what's acceptable is determined by consensus. At the moment that falls on the side of a lot of freedoms. It's not hard to imagine how easily this could change - and the next regime will immediately have access to the most comprehensive surveillance system in the history of mankind.
