Worrying about something like Dataminr is akin to worrying about the arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic and not recognizing the actual problem.

You are so right. I d like to think people would be horrified to see behind the curtain of Big Data companies and the associated industries. XMode’ boasts their close to real time tracking with their SDK. And yet people don’t t anonymize their AD ID and keep downloading apps that track them and their POL. It’s a deliberately murky industry
