What harm does public data have to you? Couldn’t one just ignore the ads? You can’t see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I’m just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public data lead to better products?
Privacy is a form of dignity. You don’t close the bathroom door because you have something to hide. Everybody knows what you’re doing in there, but you close the door anyway to preserve your dignity.
