So then the issue is who has this data, because algorithms are increasingly becoming commodity. Right now the biggest databases are superpowers, big tech , and ordinary countries. One way to remove the competitive advantage of any good or bad actor, is to make the data commonplace, in order to render it worthless, in order to remove the incentive for so much spying.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but this reads to me like "if surveillance doesn't produce a worthwhile society, you're just not using enough of it."

Honestly , i think it's going to get worse before it gets better. People don't see the invisible hand of surveillance at the moment , so they don't push back.
