The fact is there is a thriving and growing private industry that is far more intrusive into people's private lives than the government will ever be.
If you browse the Internet someone somewhere is collecting your data, use a cell phone company same, if you use a credit cards, same thing, same with applying for insurance, buying a ticket for any type of travel...the list goes on and on.
If you make any commercial transaction its likely someone somewhere is collecting that information and trying to figure out how to make a buck by selling it...
BS. Even if private industry dices and chops your data more, their motivation is to sell you something; not to ration health care, put you on a political enemies list or anything of a sinister nature.
Apparently, the internet has decided that I am very lonely for male companionship. On certain websites, I see huge ads with pictures of many attractive men. Supposedly, if I go to the ad website, I can contact one of those men.
Sometimes, the ads decide that I am looking for Christian men and show the appropriate pictures.
This happens at home and at work. I've been married 33 years. I don't know why I keep seeing all the singles ads.
OTOH, we're planning a vacation to Florida. I'm seeing a lot of Florida ads now, too. They show up below the single men ads.
