Alteration of personal information

Any alteration of the personal information that states create, store and disseminate on their citizens is impossible—at least from the citizens’ end: their bond with their states is an unbreakable one. They can, of course, ask for changes, even changing their name and their citizenship; however their original, at birth information will always be there, it will never go away. Nor can an individual be selective—for example, they cannot choose to create information but not to store it: all three processing operations are natural and necessary to them. On the part of the state, any alteration of that personal information or any inability to carry out (any one of) these information processing operations is similarly impossible—or, at least, it is so important to individuals as to constitute a specific threshold, that of state legitimacy.
