All the data everyone posts on the internet. All the tracking data via phones. Every conversation or query via Siri and Alexa and the like. And now all the data from ChatGPT and Grok and every other AI.
Every conversation is stored somewhere. Every purchase with a card or your phone's wallet is logged. Everything you watch on a streaming service is logged. Your searches are logged. How many people have those car insurance devices so they could save 5%? Those are tracking not just where you go but how you drive. Your gaming habits are tracked and logged. The list goes on and on.
That sounds like the plot of a movie, like Enemy Of The State or some sci-fi flick where it's discovered there's a secret underground something or other that needs immense energy and the data centers are just a front.
Most of the time movies either try to make something seem too far fetched to be believable, even though it may currently be happening in real life, or they try to normalize it (think the oodles of cop shows where the good guys are constantly trampling on citizens' rights to catch the bad guy, and everyone at home goes along with it).
