Large Government databases with no oversight... more misuse and abuse?
The Dallas Morning News posted a great article Sunday warning what huge government databases could result in other than people-tracking... misuse and loss of data.
They used the recent VA stolen data case as a springboard.
"Privacy advocates say concern over government intrusions into personal privacy is exacerbated by the government's use of data obtained by commercial data brokers, which often contains inaccurate information. When the government secretly collects and analyzes personal data, it makes it difficult to challenge a program shielded by public view."
How will we ever know how much inaccurate data the government has?
