> but most people aren't targets so this doesn't matter

What do you mean? Everyone on the planet is a target. They want data on everyone so they can target ads to everyone.

Oops, by 'target', I meant on the receiving end of exploitation (governments/ politics/ free speech). You might consider targeted adverts exploitation, but I didn't include that in the use of 'target', because I think people prefer targeted adverts and can just turn them off anyway.
