I'm not against the oncoming IoT and the collection of data in and of itself isn't a huge issue to me. My concern is more in the sense of how this massive database could easily be misused in the future. I don't think that it would be misused in the near future, but as time goes on the likelihood goes up that it will be. Ideally some sort of check can be in place to prevent this from occurring.

I'm not looking to inhibit progress, merely shedding light on potential issues that are also good to have on the radar. I find it important to try to foresee potential problems early on with newer technologies similar to the splitting of the atom or emergence of AI.

Edit: Rereading I think I might have misinterpreted your comment on the first pass, so we might be on the same page here.
