This echoes my concerns about the ephemeral nature of trust.
Be as positive as you can about it right now. Assume they don't sell and trade. Assume they don't have data breaches. Assume they don't directly try to use it for evil.
Well I could trust them now. But the future?
Do I trust every employee they could hire for the length of time(forever?) they hold my information?
For private industry, do I trust whoever could buy their company in the future? (FB login for VR anyone?)
We have been lucky enough that no one is obviously directly using this information to kill/incarcerate people.
Well, outside of China anyway but that is somebodies else's problem....
Which is my point. For many people, if it doesn't affect you, it isn't an issue.

Until it does.
