Odd. That's precisely what's happening with GDPR. While the EU governments are demanding that private companies limit collection and use of data, the intelligence arms of these same countries (I'm looking at you, GCHQ) and their FVEY partners are doing everything they can to hoover up and store every single bit of data on the world population, including their own citizens.
And somehow, we think this is fine. An entity with the power to disappear you and render you to black sites can have all the data on you they wish. But Facebook determining that there is an 83.7% chance you are stressed serving up an ad for vacation rentals is completely verboten.
It's absolutely mad.
