If you use the web and a smartphone...
The web and iPhones know...
They know what toothpaste you use...
They know what car you drive...where you drive it...how fast you drive it...
They know your political preferences...
They probably have pictures of you and your family, pets and cohorts...
They know what calibers you reload...
And, if you prefer blondes, brunettes, redheads or otherwise...
They have access to every post you ever made...or just read...
Every email you sent, read or merely composed in draft...
Every call you made or received...
Every movie you ever rented...
Every song, or radio program, podcast or book you listen to...
Every purchase ever made...
Every search you have made, and
Probably your general medical condition, too...

And, they know all your friends and their proclivities too.

And that’s just for starters...search the phrase: “the Internet of things.”

The Lois Lerner - Peter Strzok - Hillary Klinton personality types in the BIGGOV world probably see massive or bulk data collection as being an excellent tool for social control...maybe even a tool for political compliance or at least manipulation. Never happen here? Look at all those speech codes banning certain conservative speakers on college campuses. Remember those “irredeemable” “deplorable” and “bitter-clinger” characterizations?

The sweeping nature of bulk data collection in a growing surveillance state is a legitimate and significant privacy issue problem (or worse) for all Americans.

And, with the volume of data collected...how hard is it really...to plant just one little, itsy, bitsy piece of - false but highly damaging - information...photo...medical report...email address associated with a dating site or worse...a strange search query...or to craft an unflattering narrative on your political enemy based on your interpretation of decades of his or her supposedly “private” searches? Planting damaging electronic shit and then publishing it...leaking it...investigating it...

Nasty, nasty potential in the wrong hands regarding this whole matter.
