There is a difference in the data gathered and where it goes. But just like the cheap
losers sealioning to invert the how-do-you-know question hoping people forget the pedigree of the information isn't the same, it's easy for people to both-sides data gathering too.
And I say that's fine. HAVE it so gathered data must go through a Clearinghouse or two (a gov entity eg SeaLandia or an org like fsf) so it's provably anonymous and then we carry on. To me, this is the result of the discussion we need to have around who gets to spy on you and how we choose that to get benefits at reduced exposure to risk.
Just, it's not the same.
