The fact that it was collected at all is a clear violation of privacy and autonomy rules. People living 100 years ago would never have accepted this sort of massive overreach from the government. In 2025 we are so used to decades of pseudo-fascism and borderline dictatorship that we don't even notice. My unborn grandchildren will pay for our mistakes, and I weep for them.
