Morozov argues that "my decision to disclose personal information (...) will inevitably have implications for other people". He tells us that personal data is not only an issue of ownership, freedom and privacy but also of democracy, justice and inequality.

I also thought it was a worrying trend as your personal data could inevitably be linked to that of others. I anticipate some legal wrangles to emerge if such a legislation were to come into force, without appropriate protection for linked parties.
