That's the issue with dragnet data collection and Snowflake-esque databases - it's never safe to enter any personal information on the internet. Given enough time, any and all of it will be "shared" and used for a third party's financial/political gain.

Doesn't matter if it's AT&T, a bank, or the government. Never under any circumstances can you expect anything sensitive to stay private. This used to be taught as gospel when introducing kids to the internet - it's crazy how much things have changed in 20 years.



Given that most businesses and government agencies now allow remote access (i.e. WFH) all personal information is on the internet already.
