Well, you can't undelete data you didn't collect. So I think there's this natural tendency toward omnivorous data collection in every tech company.

Then we rationalize it by telling ourselves that we use it ethically. It's almost always true . . . except when it's not. If 99% of the time the data is used ethically, it's easy to write off that 1% even when the 1% is all that matters.
