Common diagnostic info primarily reports on the device's status, there aren't many privacy concerns in that past transgression. What I'm worried about is the practice of device reporting done on individual user behaviors unrelated to device operation, which previously required careful measures to not report in software-based monitoring. Rules exist within the US government to protect Personally Identifiable Information, but somehow now not within private companies like FaceBook? Now that real-time connectivity and information is available, companies have access to data (well beyond what even most governments can collect) that can easily be weaponized against individuals, or even compromised by hackers or less-ethical companies and then also weaponized against individuals or groups in ways no-one has even thought about yet... "Boogeymen" is perhaps an improper name because they don't even know the devastating impacts that this personal data collection trend will lead to into the future... "Incompetent Egoists" and "Ignorant God Complex" are probably better terms to use in describing the individuals involved in implementing this type of reckless societal behavior monitoring.
