Wait what? I cannot say illegal things are illegal? The only association I made is that things that break the law are illegal, which is a tautology and obviously true. I never said everything illegal is the same.
Personal data has many meanings and for some, this data might bring their literal death so of course it's a serious topic. Not common in the last ~30 years of western history, but that's just a tiny slice of time/location so of course it's sensible many of us want to keep personal data, well, personal.
I apologise, I might have misunderstood your point then. I assumed you were saying something more interesting then a simple tautology. Why say a tautology?
I thought what yout were saying is that we shouldn't want it to be legal because it's illegal and therefore bad.
