| Message | The more we increase centralisation of personal information, the more serious the breach of someone's individual rights when something goes wrong. There may not be any increased chance of something going wrong (although a centralised system would look far more attractive to hackers/fraudsters etc), but when something does go wrong then the breach is far more likely to impact more harshly on the victim. |
