They track us in real-time down to a meter, predict when and where we will travel, know who we interact with, know our DNA[1], know what food we like, when we are sick, what our political leanings are, can predict what our children will like / dislike and probably can predict when we'll die...

If any of that isn't completely true yet, it will be.

They are building the infrastructure for the people who want to use weapons.
