PSA - It's probably gonna capture religious and political affiliations and weird pornography fetishes, too. Lol.

As was mentioned, it's just a bad idea.

Edit: Here's a particularly cynical prediction: Joe Consumer angry to learn that Recall backups were used to lower his credit score, and (incorrectly) deny his insurance claim.

Benefits:

  • a little better local search?

Downsides:

  • identity theft
  • more intrusive ads
  • loss of insurance coverage
  • ruined relationships
  • scammers draining bank accounts

Seems reasonable.
