What harm does public data have to you? Couldn't one just ignore the ads? You can't see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I'm just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public data lead to better products?

Why don't you go ahead and post your browser history and location data for the last 6 months?

While we're at it, the login details to your bank accounts would be fantastic! Oh and your contact list please
