Government Databases are Dangerous to Privacy – Well Duh!


Why on Earth would anyone be surprised that when someone has access to a lot of sensitive data about people they know, they'd be tempted to look at it? Check out this story outlining several recent cases of government workers peeping on people with government databases.
Creation of government databases should be limited. Any that are legitimately created must be carefully controlled and restricted to only the people that need it. Breaches of trust should be visible and accounted for.
As far as I'm concerned, private databases owned by companies should fall into the same boat. No one should be tracked and tagged like an animal when they're not a convicted criminal.
