alt Hacker NewsIt’s not only government shares that info, the government can keep track on with which parties they shared that info and for what purpose.
As an example if I’m obliged to share my ID data via government to open a twitter account how would I know that the government would not link my twitter account to my ID and later use that info keep track of me and prosecute?
People would think that it would never happen, but not long ago that actually happened in East Germany. The Stasi kept track/files on almost every East German and this would be a digital version of the same thing
The app is open source, and it doesn't do that.
I agree that governments should minimize collection of their citizen's data. I just don't see where it is supposed to happen in this case.
