> I thought even then they didn't count it as "collected" until a human sees the result.

Yeah, I was never quite clear on whether it meant "scraped for data" or "scraped for data and then that data was used". I tried to look it up before I posted, but since "we don't collect..." seems to have been a lie under any of those definitions, I'm not convinced it actually had a clear 'technical' meaning.

Of course, if reading algorithmic output without specific records doesn't count as seeing the data, there's always the possibility that info is making it all the way to the 'trigger a drone strike' step without ever being "collected"...
