The social graph is the holy grail of intelligence analysts and law enforcement. I believe for many years they've been trying to do this themselves, but it requires a massive collection system, along with an equally massive backend database to house all of this information. And it is tough to normalize a person when they have multiple shards of identity. Now, we just give it to them wholesale. In this way, the tech that empowers us may eventually be used against us. It is terrifying enough that I would prefer a more analog future. (Apologies for the throwaway account, but I'm not naive.)
