I&#x27;d say the secondary issue is the ability of quangos and non-government entities (including organisations such as companies, &#x27;criminal&#x27; orgs and individuals) to access this information officially or unofficially.<p>Whatever bad a government can do, others can do the same or worse. Simply collecting such information means that &#x27;bad&#x27; actors will gain access at various times and in various ways, so while the collection itself can be painted as innocent, in reality it&#x27;s highly dangerous.
