"Similarly, mass spying will change the nature of spying. All the data will be saved. It will all be searchable, and understandable, in bulk. Tell me who has talked about a particular topic in the past month, and how discussions about that topic have evolved."
"Corporations will spy on people. Mass surveillance ushered in the era of personalized ads; mass spying will supercharge that industry."

What you probably don't know yet... A long list of cities and towns in #Bavaria have been using the official "BayernBox", a cloud that is based on @npub17xy…6vgc #owncloud
If you live in Bavaria, your city's administration very probably is using ownCloud - for a long time and very happily. Hohenwarth near Cham at the Czech border is the 1000th user of the online platform. Here's the press release:
https://pr-com.de/companies/owncloud/
That means: Every second communal entity in Bavaria is using ownCloud.
