the scary part is not the collection. it's the intention or end outcome of having that information. i.e. How likely are they to try to find something against you if you're tweeting against current admin. god knows what lists are created as a result of this.
and this can also easily lead to uncovering less public information about you. More data you have about a person easier it is to triangulate anonymized data about them.
- ajeet_dhaliwal 9y agoThis is the reason it's scary, it's not the collection in of itself. It's also sad because there are history textbooks, novels, movies and so much information about the past about why this sort of thing is dangerous and like idiots we all allow it to happen again and again even when freedom is the mantra of the constitution of the country. Who dare's to Tweet or write something that either is critical of the government or can be interpreted that way and risk being locked out? Critics and thoughts silenced by fear.
