This is missing the point that in this example, you have to choose who you’re targeting, find someone at the DMV to bribe, get away with the bribe, and even then, this is limited info.

The difference here is that people are willingly handing their data to the parties that want it, bypassing our DMV buddy entirely.

It’s a case of perfect being the enemy of good. I’m not saying this information isn’t available. I’m saying we shouldn’t be in the habit of handing it out.

    I’m saying we shouldn’t be in the habit of handing it out.

    And I agree. But, like I said

    Because maybe you DO care about the principle of it (I know I do). But “It is the principle of the matter” is just as ineffective an argument as “I have nothing to hide”.
