‘Gov’t consistently threatens to do x which is bad, does x which is bad. collecting data which makes it easier to do x is… good?’

Do you even listen to yourself? How would collecting that data in this environment actually improve the country, instead of clearly being used to do bad things - which will make the situation worse?

Notably, this is the gun registry problem, and exactly why gun registries are also bad.



Sigh.

There is only one OECD country where this conversation has any merit.

Your gun registry example is great proof.


Hardly. And talk about moving the goal posts.

Everything I said can just as easily be said about Brazil.
