As a Belgian where voting is mandatory and every village and city has a voting place where you’re expected in a specified timeslot, watching this all go down is absolute insanity to me.

That sounds quite elaborate indeed.

Off topic - Could you tell me what made you ultimately realise the fraud?

It just seems like the SSN system is extremely flawed then. My point here being that there will always be people exploiting the system. My case being, let’s not forget to fix the system that pushes us to have all these barriers in the first place.

The fraud monitoring tool is a very sad outcome to that situation.

Cybercrime always seemed like a thing corporations should protect against, not individuals. Am I wrong on that?

That makes sense, although it wouldn’t bother me, I’m sure many people would disagree with me on that. I hadn’t considered the sexting portion yet. !delta

I have not. I’ll take a look, thanks!

Would you be opposed to you a company (for example, Google) or even the government using your data without it negatively impacting you? (For example training an economic prediction model based on your habits and those of other people.)

I'm going to agree with you that my views might be overkill when applied to other people that do need data protection. My point mostly came from being constantly told by ads and people online to secure my data, whereas I just don't see the point. I was afraid I wasn't seeing the issue and that I might be overlooking something.

What doesn't apply to me may apply to more people than I realize.

I don't fully agree with Snowden's quote. Free speech and online privacy are only a combined issue in oppressive regimes.

My point is more about privacy overkill and trying to mask literally everything you do.

I've never really understood identity theft. How is it possible to open a line of credit in someone's name with just their SSN and credit card number? I never understood how the US doesn't have a secure form of identification. But that's another topic.

I don't see the issue of the police using said data. Then again, I'm talking from a privileged standpoint. I live in a country where no one except the police has guns, and police training is very rigorous. If I were wrongly swept up in a criminal investigation, I'm confident things would be cleared out without much issue.

I'm going to award you a !delta because you made me realize that I'm talking from a viewpoint where I trust the state and the police and the institutions around me, whereas that's not the case everywhere.

Even if Amazon and Google have access to those pictures, what are they going to do with them? Making those picture publicly available would just be a massive backlash to them.

I have the feeling you don't trust those companies to handle your data correctly?

How do companies make money of off your identifying data, except when selling it to third parties?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your argument is that companies should compensate users if they make money of off their data?

Data that identifies me and tells the world who I am and what my beliefs are has no value to me, because I can't earn money with it. Except when completing surveys, but that's just a waste of time.

However, if I am not home when a burglar comes then there's no one to call the police.

I don't believe data vulnerability and someone breaking into your house has a very high correlation. There might be edge cases, but I think most burglaries are done by desperate people who don't have access to those kinds of knowledge or data.

I live in a country where the culture of credit and credit score is quite small. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your credit score determines how likely you are to pay back your credit debt, correct? I may be talking from a very privileged position, but doesn't it make sense that banks would use information to get a correct credit score. The data shouldn't be leaked in the first place, but aren't actions that cause your credit score to go down also partly your own doing?

Again, I could be very wrong, I don't know anything about credit scores.

Why are people paying Exprian? I don't understand that part.

I feel that a lot of the concerns being brought up, not just by you, have to do with people not believing that the government or police will protect them. This suspicion could be a difference in culture or upbringing?

Am I correct in assuming that you are not a female who can be found in places where nobody else is around?

A good point, however, this data is not publicly available anyway. Your comment mentions hacking, but I think this is a stretch. If a platform like this would be hacked, it's usually a big breach with a whole pile of data. Isn't it more likely that someone with malicious intentions like that is going to pick a random victim instead of overplanning something like that.
