I hope they come to my door. I'll tell them all the stuff that is taught in Seminary that they don't teach the parishioners.

That being said, this is totally fucked up. Hopefully someone that is affected can sue them into oblivion.

I feel like this information is going to get sold to GOT--sorry, 'voter suppression' efforts and general databrokers.

I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.

One stopped by my house last week. I told them this is an atheist household and the bible is a fictional story book, no offense. I quite enjoyed the face they made.

In my younger days told a Jehova's Witness that Jesus was my favorite fictional character because he had the coolest superpowers. They went from overjoyed that I was engaging with them to Charlie Brown sad walking away in the space of a sentence.

These days I'd probably be more rude but less offensive.

I mean they don't need sensitive data, they already know which house is religious, because the people signed up for it. So by default every other home gets added. That is all very puplic information.

It says in the article they employed a commercial data set that is not composed of widely available public data in creating this app. Also, it lists a lot more information about people than whether or not they are christians.

This is basically the same as the voting rolls that democrats and republicans use for canvassing. The amount of information they have and have had for years predating the internet, is immense.

I might need to get a door decoration that tells them to leave me alone. Then I won't feel bad about telling them to leave. I gave them a chance.

I feel like I need the hero protecting the little person meme. The arrows are roving bands of proselytizers, and the hero is my little "no soliciting" sign
