oh no, the world will find out I'm 50. oh the shame, oh the horror.
And they will know what you look like. And with some data extrapolation where you are, where you go, your searches, what you're into, your payment methods, where you live, your schedule, who you interact with, and the list goes on.
This is one more data point for big brother to collect and share with the highest bidder, or to get leaked to people who do not have your best interests in mind.
And when some data is leaked, your id will be with it.
50 and this naive?

And they know your medical conditions, your income, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies, your vices, your insecurities, your deepest desires. Fast forward 10 years and every page and site you visit will be AI generated on the spot to lead you around by the nose and which way they feel like.
"Your local team just won the championship! Buy one of their limited edition jerseys now for only one hour of your income! Act now and we won't send videos of you jerking it to your coworker your wife is super jealous of. If you pay for express shipping we'll disable your home security and quietly sneak in and hang it in your closet, even while you sleep! Just kidding! We bought all of this for you anyway, because we own your drug store and we would've just withheld your insulin until you bought a jersey... I mean TWO jerseys."
