Thanks for this Oliver. Biologist Jonathan Jay Couey @gigaohmbiological has suggested a higher level explanation of this now-apparent plague of data collection: It's being done to collect as much data as possible while there is still 8 billion people on the planet. This data will feed the AI that will become the new god for solving all of humanity's woes. This opportunity won't happen again, as populations are in decline.

There's likely something to that. Are populations in decline now? I haven't seen the trends but also wouldn't be surprised.
Brilliant analysis of a scary step.
Thank you.
