Please don't speak for me. I was talking about the information collection, not what they're doing with that information.
- smtddr 12y agoWhat possible good can come from collecting a bunch of private data that wasn't intended to be collected by a third party? They're not collecting it for nothing. If you think it's okay to collect the data you must consider what can be done with it. Catching criminals? Sure, but that's very minor compared to the real harm that data can do to a bunch of relatively harmless people. Like using a gun to kill a housefly. The chances of you hitting the housefly are very low, but the chances of you harming a bunch of innocent people while trying are likely.
