What about leveraging the old PRISM [0] program? That'd be a good starting point to figure out which companies have sensitive information they are willing to share with nefarious groups.
I'm less worried about being surveilled by capitalists and more about that information getting into the hands of law enforcement. Capitalists, as a body, want to sell me stuff. That is less threatening than people who might arrest me.

- bonton89 3y agoCapitalists increasingly want to sell you, or rather all info they have about you, to anyone that will pay for it. And they'll happily sell or just give it to law enforcement as well as people who want to sell you stuff.
- rmellow 3y agoRetailers are the tip of the iceberg. These companies would want to sell your info to any group who see you as a liability, not just law enforcement: - Insurance companies want an excuse deny payment - Potential employers want an excuse to not hire you - Landlords, neighbors, social clubs benefit from an excuse to deny you - People who despise you for any reason may use this to hurt you. Any of these uses today might be seen as extreme, but these things have a way of normalizing themselves over time.
