The data is not what causes the harm. It is the method used to produce (some of) the data that causes the harm.
And the problem is that looking for the data in order to find the people causing the harm runs afoul of the converse fallacy. It's the same fallacy that causes people to think that because most terrorists (that they know of) are Muslims, that most Muslims must be terrorists. Most child abusers have photos of naked children on their phones, therefore most people who have photos of naked children on their phones must be child abusers. It's false in both cases. A friend of mine, for example, has photos of her naked child on her phone that she sent to the doctor to help diagnose a rash.
