After they share the data within, they will begin to sell the data to private corporations, or offer the data to them for next to nothing & as long as they share the output of their processing results. The Public - Private partnership will be in full swing in a few years. Why are we analyzing this? Why aren't we telling our representatives that this is wrong & it must stop? peace

My data point on this is Aldrich Ames who living way beyond his means for a full decade. All the CIA did was send to agents around to tell him to 'cool it' What this says to me is that people at his level in the CIA and NSA, etc at the time and probably still are trading classified information to friendly governments and large corporate clients. What the CIA didn't expect was that Ames was so utterly stupid as to be selling information to the Soviets instead of say the French Government, or the someone at a hedge fund, or a VP of sales at Boeing.

What you are describing is inevitable, unless we fight for better laws in America. For instance, accessing email older than 180 days currently doesn't require a warrant. I helped Demand Progress build a website to promote a fix, the Email Privacy Act. The act actually has 310 cosponsors, which is more than any other bill in the House! The website goes into greater detail: https://savethefourth.net/ https://savethefourth.net/ We have to choose our battles, and I think this is a good one. By the way, please feel free to send a PR / issue on GitHub: https://github.com/demand-progress/ecpa-www https://github.com/demand-progress/ecpa-www

Private corporations already have the data. Did you see the list of companies supporting Apple? Nobody is worried about this. We think that companies have the right to keep dossiers on people, as long as they make a scout's promise that it's only for advertising. And selling to each other. But don't give data to the government, that would be unethical.

  More think of you're bidding on a contract with General Electric and the guy across the table has been listening in on all of your conference calls and reading all of your confidential documents courtesy of your competitors mole at the FBI. And so he knows what your go no go point is to the penny.

  Corporations can sue you, whereas governments can do a lot more.
