Relax, Folks. The Government Is Protecting Your Privacy

What could possibly go wrong?

There has been outrage in Italy after the outgoing government published every Italian's declared earnings and tax contributions on the internet.

...The finance ministry described the move as a bid to improve transparency.

Unbelievable.

I remember back in the 1990s when Schuylkill County (Pennsylvania) had a property tax reassessment and similarly made public the value of people's homes and businesses.

Naturally, many folks were quite torked.
