Yeah it's not the Porn companies I'm worried about, it's the companies the porn companies use to store the data. Even if they don't leak it, someone ~~can~~ will break in, either a bad actor or the government themselves because, let's be frank, having a list of porn users and what porn they watch is going to be irresistible if they want to spark a scandal based around, say, rival politicians or activists.

I trusted my government to protect my info, and now I have LifeLock for life because of several breaches on their part. If data is stored, it is virtually certain some portion of it will get leaked.
