In the past, we could have been indifferent to this massive trove of information collection because we relied on security of our personal lives through obscurity, or "needle in a haystack" philosophy.
But with the advent of bots, we have opened the door for artificial intelligence by providing it a playground of information that it can run and develop algorithms on. This massive trove is not so massive anymore. And we should come to accept the doors of privacy have been virtually blown fully open now.
The big question that remains is "What's next?" Self-imposed ethics? Thought police? Enslavement to an all-knowing being? Big brother?
