If you are a hermit living in the Netherlands - so almost anywhere you use it as much as possible and avoids the social systems, too - show your personal nevertheless in less than 250 files to be.

As you socially active, you can reach thousands of files. Does the Data Protection Authority, which research has done.

It is now a cold trick files to link - it is done very much. The privacy of the citizen is not or hardly looked. Citizens in that area is completely outlawed. 'Big brother is watching you is' has become a reality.
