Will privacy be the future? I feel browser tracking will simply become less relevant in the future. I can't explain why. I'm sure of one thing though: the government will know more about us.

I think of this stuff separately.

1. The government can always use the excuse of "public safety." However,

2. A company that's selling brooms shouldn't have all kinds of access to tracking people. The public doesn't benefit from that.

The government barely knew enough about us to make a website that could connect people to healthcare. Forgive me for being more concerned about what Google can feed into DeepMind Person Predictor in 2026 to know about me.
