I simply don't like the thought of big tech knowing intimate details about me, my health, finances etc. I think it's better regulated in the EU, but I am under the impression that in the US this kind of data could be sold to your health insurance, car insurance etc, affecting the payments. I.e.: Your super smart car detects that you drive fast. This data is sold to your car insurance and they raise your monthly payment.
Then in a state with strong ideology you may be ostracized for your activity deemed wrong or treasonous. And then there are services demanding biometrics or a passport to register you. No. Just no. I am not putting these in a data-bank I have 0 control over and is a fat jackpot to malicious hackers. if it was my own and it got hacked I'd at least know that it was my own fault :D
