That Nazis could use something for truly evil purposes is hardly limited to this but, I think, the concern is. You can imagine nazis transporting Holocaust victims and soldiers by rail, because they did, but I’ve never heard anyone argue against adding more rail infrastructure because if Nazis take over they could use the rail infrastructure to enable genocide.

Both railways and population registries were blown up by anti-nazi sabotage and resistance groups during WWII.

So place your data like your railways, where you can blow em up when circumstances necessitate it.
