Personal data protection risks --- Back in the days, it was only the individual and few governmental agencies that had access to citizens' personal data (archived offline), thus, with less risks for data breaches. Today, our personal and other sensitive data (even bio-metric) is completely public (via social networks, e-banking, e-commerce etc.). We do not have control of our data (ownership/storage/archiving/analytics/resale). We face many uncertainties. How our data will be used by new corporations, governmental agencies and software powered by AI, big-data, behavioral analysis?...A new "social credit system" similar to the one in operation in China could limit our access to real life or even "archive" us "offline" :)
