Sincere question:

We've already been covering Big Data in the context of the privacy thread.  What are the pros and cons of splitting it off to a separate thread?

You can move it if you like.

Or if you want me to I can.

I feel it is not just about privacy at this point.   It is mankind's future or destiny.

A fair point.  OK, let keep this thread going, but while doing so we should be cross-referencing the Privacy thread as well.
