I understand the worry about the malignant use of identity data, but surely this 'privacy' thing is seriously overhyped. Personalisation is a tool to sell stuff, not a lot more. The Big Brother idea is probably valid, but no single witholding of personal data is going to stop that train. Reminds me a bit of that old bloke trying to stop the sea advancing on his toes. So long as data is money, we are going to be harvested, be it loyalty cards, genetic tracing, our physical location and movements, shopping habits, criminal history, medical status - it is all grist to the mill of a bunch of people who also put their pants on the same way we do.

We are not unique. We are not special. We are just people, like everyone else.
