    Yeah that’s why they collect data, because it’s money. What they don’t talk about is that somewhere along the line they realize they got bunch of data that’d be very valuable to others too, so they’ll sell it. Also, they don’t really care if gov agencies come ask for it

      The other thing they don’t realize is data is a liability. People are catching on to the danger of data and they be taking action, both with novel applications of existing laws, and new laws. Soldiers have already been targeted because of data, so the idea that they can dodge liability is unlikely. Some countries already have laws in place as well.
