    Honestly most of these sound like America problems, insurance, employers digging through history, cars reporting to workplaces, etc.

    Companies already have profile information on me, or 95% accurate generalisations for my demographic. And no way would such price gouging tactics be allowed in my country.

    The most plausible ones, such as a government targeting me - well the only other option is to live my life underground and that defeats the whole purpose of pride. So yeah I’ll gladly risk being myself publicly in spite of the risks.

    Look at the end of the day, things could change 180 a new oppressive and more American like government could come in and make my life shitty. But the thing is, if they’ve already managed to come in, they’re going to make my life shitty regardless of what information I have out there.

      You sweet naive fool. “That would never happen, it’s ILLEGAL!” Grow up. They are already doing it.

        That’s nice American, why don’t you go focus on a real issue like gun control instead of fearing an imaginary future where fascists are in power but can only find public information about a person to persecute them with?

        Maybe you could focus on the lack of universal healthcare, rather than private insurance raising your prices.

        Stop focusing on imaginary future scenarios and focus on the actual real problems you have already. Because they don’t exist elsewhere and it’s got nothing to do with DNA information.

          Hahaha did I strike a nerve? Probably guilt. You know you should care more about privacy but you can’t give up the convenience.

            No, I’m just tired of seeing your ill thought out comments on this site.

            All it would take is one shitty government to mandate you have to have dna on file and your entire safety is gone.

            Focus on having a better government, that will actually protect your citizens, not this fear mongering.

                I’m sure pretending you don’t already have it worse will make you feel smug about not knowing about your dna.

                Your problems are purely political, they don’t exist elsewhere. Get used to that.
