It's a good example.

Examples do not have to "cancel each other out".

Would you say that the harm done to you by the NSA spying would be greater than, or less than, the harm done to you by worrying about the privacy of your information for 50 years? I do not know the extent of the NSA spying, other than to collect call data via the FISA courts.

(Aside: in my work in telephony, I have seen an awful lot of raw call data. It's super boring.)

That's a good question.

Personally, it's hard for me to answer. Because I don't care about, or worry about privacy anymore. I think that ship has sailed, and nothing I can do will change that, so I wrote it off. It doesn't occupy any of my thoughts.

I guess, it's still, potentially a bad idea, in that it could be misused.

But, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
