    Would it be okay if I traced every bit of public data about you, including your name, address, cellphone, familial information, work history, and online social media history etc, put it into a nice little package and put it online? I mean, I’d only be doxxing you with publicly available information that was easily linked from your profile. Would it be okay if I go the next step and gather your DNA from a publicly available location? All I need is a quick strand of hair.

    I mean it’s public. Anyone can find this information with a little effort…or do you feel have some sort of right to privacy? I understand not wanting any of this information broadcast to the public…but it is public information.

      do you really think there arent entities accumulating this information on you, right now??

      and hair? you dont need hair to get a dna sample. you breathe it out constantly.

      you should have no expectation of privacy to the sequence of your dna.
