The "automated way" is just a matter of perspective. What matters is that the more efficiently you can do it, the fewer resources you need to devote to "investigate" anyone. That can certainly create ethical quandaries. I don't follow how it creates a legal one. AFAIK, the boundaries on privacy laws tend to be tied to access & consent, not scale. Scale just changes the size of the violation. Can you give me an example of a privacy law where the legal line is drawn around scale?
