Then you don't understand the concerns. What is perfectly routine today may be damning tomorrow. Yes, Nazi Germany was an extreme event, but it happened, and there's no reason something like it couldn't happen again. It might not even be anything you posted, maybe you are friends with a lot of people that have radical political ideas. Maybe something you posted could be taken out of context. If you think that all people would be able to get out of this data is "lol, had eggs for breakfast today", then you are seriously underestimating the value of this data.
