Even with encryption, the *metadata* of the data stored on the blockchain (which is public) tells a lot about the person storing the data and the data themselves. Coupled with lack of ability of people who uploaded data to delete their own data themselves, privacy is at risk.

Ah type of metadata is usually stored on HIVE? And what is the best way to describe what #metadata is?

Metadata is best described as "data within data that describes data". It contains information about the data itself such as who posted the data (and who its recipients are, if applicable), the size of the data, and the time the data was created or sent.

Therefore, if the surveillance entities cannot understand the data itself due to encryption, they will be able to tell a lot about it when other facts about their targets are combined together using their very powerful supercomputers.
