Serious Question
2drinks 26th Jul 2010
What will the world be like if we get to the point where most major law enforcement agencies and governmental entities are storing their data with a potentially corrupt corporate entity? Not that the government is any less corrupt necessarily, but at least with the current setup the data is distributed across many entities' databases and not centralized. I really have misgivings about a central database that literally contains everything the government and potentially credit agencies, et al knows about me. The DBAs in charge of maintaining that system suddenly become the most powerful people in the country in many ways.
