If you are setting up troll/bot armies, lots of valid information to setup users under.
Wait til they start contacting representatives with stolen data to make it look like real constituents, en masse in your name like the FCC faked comments supporting net neutrality repeals.
How are we gonna stop people contacting your representatives, under your name, throwing support behind what you are opposed to?
We eventually need some sort of validated 'contact your representative' system that tracks responses, shows numbers of people in support against how representatives vote and more to make sure people are real people and that it isn't stolen data used to support something you don't want in your name. Contacting your representative is one of the most broken systems in the US with so few representatives, if they flood them with real user data but fake concerns, representatives will be flooded with the wrong perception of what people want.
This is besides all the fraud that can come about with stolen data from hack after hack. How long until they have access to all the NSA collected data through hacks and backdoors. We are seriously in the thick of it.
