    It’s a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone’s data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.

      The ownership part was how it was analogous. That was pretty obvious. Any time a massive system is set up for millions of people to use, it quite obviously matters who set it up and why.

      I just love when Internet randos pretend not to get analogies because I’m, gasp, comparing things which aren’t identical.

      In any case, sorry to interrupt your stream of 15 second video clips.
