Information, facts, knowledge and awareness of it is only harmful if used to identify, discriminate and manipulate immorally. It can be used for good or bad purposes. It has been this way a long time. A current example of an identifier that has been around a while that we have seen used to identify, discriminate and manipulate immorally is race. This country was founded by people that were identified, discriminated and manipulated immorally because of religion. Identification is a good thing is used properly. In this country we depend on the rule of law to do so. It is up to us to make sure it does. The idea you can hide or not be identified is not and has not been possible for a long time. For years now large amounts of information has been able to be processed accurately and therefore made identification possible. The majority of our society has failed to control it with laws because they have turned a "blind eye" and wished to believe it wasn't possible to achieve. The identification isn't the problem, the problem is how society uses the information either for good or bad, that needs to be controlled by law so that only good uses are the outcomes. Information is a tool like a gun, they are not the problem it is people's access to them and how the information or gun is used. Lets hope we do a better job with information than we have with guns!
