The headline unfortunately downplays the scope of the data, since it covers a lot more than social media - it can include legally priviliged and "otherwise confidential" information, as well as information on "religion, racial or ethnic origin, political views, medical condition, sexual orientation."<p>What is remarkable is the absolute lack of oversight over the sharing of this sensitive data with foreign governments and law enforcement, but especially with so-called "industry partners". And that there don't appear to be any legal penalties for its misuse.
