Look, you're free to believe what you want, there is nothing sinister here, nothing covert, it's just the way things work. Data leads to sales. Period.

FB has specialised in linking the data "and people", thus making it hundreds of times more useful, esp as they report now having over 2billion users signed up, and probably a similar no hoovered up along the way.
Selling that sort of stuff to the chinese etc, is what i am more concerned with, vs say the council selling the dog register to the petfood companies.

Hi Andrew, all the data is raw. Every bit of data counts and adds up. IIS is a public forum. What we're discussing here right now gets picked up by Google bot almost on an hourly basis and gets indexed. Discrete pieces of information might not make sense, but when you get enough of them together you can correlate and get something out of it as the big picture starts forming. The technology and algos involved are pretty cool really. How it gets used is up to individuals. Privacy is a dinosaur in the digital age.
