I don't understand how your claim (that users want the products that data collection enables) refutes my claim (that data collection has not helped with government transparency).
- lern_too_spel 11y agoIf your point is merely that "data collection has not helped with government transparency," I do not refute it (and I know of nobody who would -- there is no reason that Gmail nor banking nor even the price of tea in China would help with government transparency). That is, however, a rather inane point to make.

Sorry.
