Agree with everything in your comment, except, this isn't just greed. It's also hubris coupled with technology-worship / scientism / futurism. I'm a pretty unabashedly greedy person, in my own opinion, and this social trajectory absolutely disgusts and frightens me. I can want money without wanting to pry into people's private lives beyond what they will personally tell me. I can very easily be greedy without wanting to violate those norms. I understand the point that greed helps people erode any moral sense that this is simply wrong, but I think they have to have some level of belief in technology and some sort of futurism ideology to take the next step toward, "This data can be analyzed correctly and will be highly useful for our productivity!" Just my opinion of course. If they ever come up with a way for tech to read your mind, companies like Chase will have zero qualms about employing it. Fun thought: Gaddafi got knife-raped by a mob while Jamie Dimon roams free.
