"wrong hands" Ha, that makes me laugh.

What exactly are the 'wrong hands'? And how does that differ from the 
hands that such information is already in?

I think we can safely assume that our data is already in the wrong 
hands, and has been from the start.

Think of it this way: What are the 'right hands'? iow: who do you think 
holds your own interests above theirs?
Hint: the answer is "nobody".

As soon as you divulge any information about yourself (including going 
out and being recorded on surveillance cameras, not to mention staying 
inside your own house and being recorded via various 'smart' systems, or 
even just having your internet activity captured), you can be sure that 
it immediately falls into the 'wrong hands'.

We aready live in the panopticon. Some of us realise it, most of us don't.
