| The future is bleak if you are attempting to cross borders with a forged or stolen passport. Nobody else is adversely affected by this. |

| There are many reasons not to want authoritarian governments tracking your every movement other than you having stolen or forged a passport. |

| The U.S. accessing my personal data causes immediate harm and completely unacceptable risk. |

| ▲ | villish 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | and yet you use american sites and services like this one, where you freely give even more personal data than fingerprints like your interests, thoughts, and more! I see comments like this all over hackernews but the truth is you actually don't care. You have a choice to not use HN/Reddit/YouTube/whatever but here you are. | | |

You're welcome to my views and their connection to each other. Doesn't mean I want you to know everything else. | | |
| ▲ | villish 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | What is more personal than the contents of your mind? Each interaction and comment is a piece of information which when combined is much more revealing about you than fingerprints. It's not as personal as your diary, but it is the closest thing to it. |

| That's a failure of imagination on your part. I don't agree that governments should have this kind of information about us in order to cross borders. |

| You really put a lot of trust in countries that are rules by oligarchs and where a far-right is rising to power... |
