Controlling type people look for more ways of control.
The Gestapo kept files on everyone they could get.
Just think about what they could do if they could monitor every phone call and put all the information into an electronic database.
Well, they would collect every bit of information, nothing would stop them accept a bullet to the head. That information to control people is a stronger pull than alcohol to an alcoholic.
The FBI, back when Muhammad Ali was fighting was shown that 80% of the end-table was for keeping control files on people. Only 20% was for fighting national crime. Today... they have removed crime fighting from their mission statement.
So, of course Boogle is sucking up everything. You can trust them on that.
I am confident that every possible means of data collection is undertaken to the limits of their capabilities. Action potential is then developed based on emergent need, resources, and goals. Sooner or later, though, they'll use every bit they harvest, if they're not BTFO.
I also am presently convinced that the nature of the technology makes data harvest inevitable. Therefore, rather than opposing such invasive surveillance, I promote making such collection publicly auditable, to prevent it being a) ignored, and b) useful for extortion, while also enabling the public to prosecute corruption.
Surveillance technology is a sword with as many edges as there are targets, and every target can employ it against their oppressors - if we create that infrastructure. Steem is a leap towards that infrastructure, and making surveillance and data collection actually more harmful to corrupt war profiteers and police state thugs than it is beneficial.
Thanks!
