content: Hi your resident non conspiracy theorist checking in. Like I said before, you need to sift through a lot of people to find what you are looking for. It might even be important to keep the data in case someone starts developing extreme views, that way you have a record of their past which would give you insight into how people become terrorists.  Collecting data on people is not inherently a problem, it is how you use it that determines if it is good or bad. If you use the data to enforce morally wrong laws, then that is a bad thing. If you sell data to the public so people can buy access to their friends private messages, then that is a bad thing.  Yes they are collecting tones of data on the population but unless they are doing something wrong with the data you have nothing to worry about. Unless I see evidence of them using the data for bad, I'm not going to jump to conclusions about conspiracy theories. Do you actually have anything that shows them using the data for evil?
