Felicia, just because your online presence is nothing but kittens and comedy, many people are expressing extremely controversial ideas, trying to start politically unpopular movements, like oh, let's see, getting the money out of politics, and may not wish to be tracked in this manner.
Dave said something vital, that got completely ignored when he talked about self-policing. This was how things got so bad in Germany, when neighbours and families turned on each other.
What the heck does open source have to do with anything Max? It's what they do with data that matters, not how that data is collected. We already know that organisations such as Scientology and the CIA uses personal data for black ops (is that the right term for running smear campaigns?). The last thing we need are more damned organisations collating that data for them.
