I hear you about people offloading the work of their values being protected by another organization.

However I think that time has shown the following:

- The values of organizations can change rapidly within a human lifetime. - It's possible that tomorrow you're actions in the past are seen as a problem for these organizations.

What I mean practically by these two remarks is that it can't be relied on for any organization to have your best interests at heart "tomorrow". So I believe that it's in the best interest of the user to always be the first line of defense for their data and privacy. With regards to the register, not sure it matters what way they swing for political affiliation if the end result is that the individual has control.
