Banning kids from social media won’t work, as they “will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media,” Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas said.

    Nah that’s a flawed analogy. It’s not like them having the clipboard partly visible. It’s more akin to them photocopying your ID just to enter the nightclub. Even if the data quickly finds its way into a safe in the boss’ office, it’s total BS that they have that level of detail stored anywhere. Any serious breach of security will provide attackers with enough information to fully impersonate anyone who has ever visited the club.

    … That is still fully separate from the also wholly valid question of, “what if this night club is suddenly deemed illegal?” Suddenly, everyone who legally visited may get a visit from the gestapo.

    It doesn’t take ANYONE DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL for such a mindset and set of rules to never the less become very problematic.

    People who want to nanny others’ behavior to such a degree are ALL Nazi-level pieces of shit, whether or not they understand that fact.

      You also can’t guarantee that that the bosses safe is actually safe. Is it a safe in his office or in some building in Russia that he sends all the photocopies to by snail mail? Is the safe actually a safe and not just an unlocked filing cabinet in the alley behind the nightclub with a sign on it saying “free ID photocopies”? Are the photocopies also put in folders with a record of all your drink preferences, conversations, conversation metadata and which songs you danced to with all the folders photocopied, submitted to the government for citizen profiling and then sold on the black market for profit by the night club owner?

        You’re still kinda’ missing the point. It doesn’t require any of that to never the less be a gross violation of privacy.

        All of that is merely icing on the cake as to why this crap is a disgusting invasion of privacy and an untenable removal of freedom to associate.

        Even if they had perfect security on the gathered data, it is STILL a disgusting violation.
