What harm does public data have to you? Couldn’t one just ignore the ads? You can’t see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I’m just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public data lead to better products?
Amen. I see that argument a lot in relation to Tor. People don’t understand that for every one bad actor, there are a myriad more who live in places where they are unable or find it unsafe to communicate online.
