The equifax breach really is a horror. Based off of simple probabilities, that’s every household in the U.S. being affected.
(• U.S.: number of households 1960-2021 | Statista)
EDIT: Should have read the article less quickly. ONLY 99 million addresses were affected, so I suppose it’s not Every household.

300 million people in the US, about 3 people to a house perhaps, could be every household

“Smart devices are increasingly being exposed as soft surveillance devices that owners have too little control of,” said Silkie Carlo, the director of Big Brother Watch. “People are now being subjected to invasive and unnecessary corporate snooping on an unprecedented scale.
“The very notion of a smart home is one of ambient surveillance and constant recording, which will without doubt lead people to modify their behaviour over time. If this current direction is continued, we will become a society of watched consumers subjected to the most granular, pervasive and inescapable surveillance. It is a terrifying thought.”

Government ins Australian putting in place laws to ‘compel’ co-operation from tech companies to give information over.
Couldn’t be done on SAFE network…but I wonder of legal implications for companies that build on the network?
The laws are most likely from indications given by the government that it will be of the form “render all assistance to law enforcement”. Basically if the company can help it will be compelled to. SAFE it self is safe. And only if the APP is run by a Australian company. But APPs on safe are not run/operated by any company. They are run by the user, so I doubt there is any company to compel
