@Em0nM4stodon Oh I entirely agree. I find this so frustrating that this is so hard for people to understand.
@Em0nM4stodon "Legitimate interest" has become one of the most insidious and widely-misused phrases in the English language.
There is no legitimacy here. This database is not a place of honour. No highly-esteemed deeds will be accomplished with this data. What they do is dangerous and repulsive to us. This database is best shunned and left uninhabited.
@Em0nM4stodon In German we say "Datensparsamkeit", and I think it's beautiful.
Do not even collect all data that you once believed you needed, but periodically question your "needs".
The only secure data is that which was never collected in the first place.
I've been terminally online since the 90s and if you google my real name, you'll get nothing. I'm a ghost, and this is wise advice.

I have collected
the data
that I did
not need
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
@Em0nM4stodon While I understand the correct context, this sounds like advise to data hoarders. 
@Em0nM4stodon 👏 Do 👏 not 👏 collect 👏 the 👏 data 👏that 👏 you 👏 do 👏 not 👏 need.
@Em0nM4stodon It makes #GDPR compliance soooo much easier.
