“if we give our data to companies, the wealthy will rule.

If we give our data to governments, we will end up with some form of authoritarianism.

Only if the people keep their data will society be free.

#Privacy matters because it gives power to the people.”

— Carissa Véliz, “Privacy is Power”

I just wanted to write "fully agree", but always beware of the extremes. Germany has learned the "don't give too much data to a central government" and has separated institutions and states.

The price is that we as citizens often have to give similar information to different institutions - and that can suck! "can't they just get the info from xyz". But that's the other side of the coin.

Everything comes by a price.
(this is not a "we must centralise" - just a "everything has a price")
