how unfortunate

There is no aspect of your life innocent or innocuous enough that it can’t be turned against you when the powers-that-be decide they want you gone.

Medical History shows you’ve attended therapy or taken psychiatric medication? That can be used to fire you from your job because you’re either an easy target for blackmail or because you’re a “danger” to the workplace.

Payment History shows you’ve paid for an OnlyFans subscription, a pay-per-view porn at a hotel, or bought something from a gay bar or a sex shop? Congrats! You’re now a “danger to children” and can be evicted from your home for devaluing property.

Your location history shows you were in the vicinity of a protest you maybe didn’t even attend and weren’t even aware of? Do you really think that’s something you can just “clear up” by talking reasonably to masked, government-sanctioned kidnappers?

Your passport shows you transited through or visited a foreign country that has suddenly become an adversary to the US because they have nationalized a natural resource the US wants? Well, we’re going to have to revoke that passport because you’re providing material support to a terrorist organization.

You shared a meme about Charlie Kirk in a private Discord chat? Well, they can connect that to your ID thanks to whatever flavor of SESTA/FOSTA/KOSA Congress has managed to pass this term. You are labeled an un-hireable pariah because you work in a field that relies heavily on government funding and now you live in your car.

You’ve swiped right (or whichever the good one is, I can never remember) on a person of a different race on Tinder? That’s actually a retroactive violation of the new Miscegenation Bill named after Clarence Thomas. Hope you enjoy prison labor!

They don’t have to have laws on the books to hurt you with this stolen data. They can (and definitely will) act first and justify their actions with legal jargon after the fact.
