| Message | NO!!!! This is an invasion of privacy! |
| Date | 14:53:38, November 03, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Technocracy Directive | To | Debating the DNA Databases Reform |
| Message | Whilst the idea of catching criminals is appealing the information on every citizen will have to be stored and kept safe, if hacked however, information on every citizen, and public official who are counted among the citizens, will be stolen; such information cannot be released to the public for it would violate their privacy and safety. |

| Message | That is why databases should not be electronic, aside from fingerprints and blood samples, only few selected officials would have access to the entire files of information. However, all law enforcement agents would have access to the DNA and fingerprint databases |

| Message | We have over ninety-nine million people living in Likatonia, do you expect to have a file for every citizen here? where would you store such a mass amount of information and it still be usable? with that system finding a criminal hidden among the endless stacks of files would be extremely inefficient to the point even if you knew exactly who it were it'd take weeks to sort through it all, let alone not knowing who it belongs to and having to cross reference every file to find the exact file with the exact DNA strands as the one being sought after. |

| Message | We believe you have a fair point Democratic Technocracy Directive. We apologize to the House of Representatives for such careless proposal, please let us take it back to our LegislTION Comittee to craft a better bill in which we can all agree on. |
| Date | 23:49:13, November 03, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the DNA Databases Reform |
| Message | The technological barrier is not such. The expected amount of data per citizen can be around 100MB at most? With 100 000 000 citizens, that's just 10 000 TB. It's roughty the size of 10 000 PC hard-drives, or the size of a couple of high end servers. Also, with high end servers, one hundred million operations is feasible in a suitable amount of time, of the order of seconds. Nothing out of our reach. With an appropriate encryption method, the security danger is also overcome. |
