Oh aye, I am the #1 government truster, they should "not record" where I visit and should be trusted to ignore my internet history
They wouldn’t see what sites you give the tokens to — unless those sites choose to phone home, for some reason.
If I had to choose between a government and a private entity to store my personal governmental records (e.g. age and name), I'd 100% choose the government first.
In turkey, the government stores data words than the company. I can be doxxed just by giving you hints of which city I live in. It's bad
easy to say, but that depends entirely on the government and company doesn't it?
Any government already has all of that information, so, no.
By giving it to a company, you just increase the risks of info leakage.
I assume OP actually meant the additional info the government can get from where I authenticate with my goverment ID to a company.
Hypothecial situation: You wanna buy a sex toy.
If the goverment does store where and what you buy, they could punish you by withholding services.
And they might not say why and give a bs excuse or send you on a goose hunt to do more paperwork.
You can suspect that but probably never proof that it was the case.
As always life is complicated.
I am talking about my personal situation.
^(Do I really need to put a disclaimer to all posts, that mentions all comments are from my own view and might no apply to every situation in every country?)
