Hm. That one may be a bit harder to explain. 'Plausible
deniability' maybe? As in "See? We are not (completely)
biased". Also, the best propaganda has a % of truth mixed in.

Yes, I was thinking about that too. How much damaging
information could, say, a 100 kb text file contain? My guess is
a lot.
On the other hand, having terabytes of raw data that need to be

But, truth be told, having access to the raw data is a good
thing (assuming it hasn't been tampered with...)
