>> If a town banned you from the train station because you refuse to give them your phone number, that would open them up to being sued.

Nice example you gave, because this literally happened between 2002 and 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Fly_List The No Fly List eventually swelled to close to a million people. There was no one entity you could sue, because airlines had their own algorithms for matching, so even if you werent on the list, but the algo fuzzy-matched you, you were effectively on the list. Matching names is notoriously bad. There was an ACLU lawsuit, but it was a much bigger effort than anything being described on this thread.

In summary: lawsuits against Government systems are slow and not necessarily something to aspire to as a better system.

yeah, the fundamental problem doesn’t seem to be a result of government or companies as we’re seeing this happening with both. governments and as we’re seeing, across the board with companies.

there is a different fundamental problem at play.
