I was purposely being silly. Should have appended a "winkie" icon to my
post.
Surprisingly, I think there are broad areas of agreement across the
political spectrum on the need to control how "big data" is collected, used
and destoyed by law enforcement.
There is a HUGE debate over BIG data collected by private enterprise
by combines, and other field monitors, and UAVs. The huge chemical
companies (monsanto, syngenta, and dupont) want it and want to keep
it once collected, and private farms and farmers believe the data for
their fields are their property. So the seed companies (mostly
owned by BIG Chem), the fertilizer companies (mostly owned by BIG
Chem) the fertilizer and chem applicators, co-ops (mostly in bed with
BIG Chem), crop advisors, pest monitors, etc are all fighting with
farmers and landowners over access and control of the data.
Also big fights brewing over UAVs (drones) over-flying fields and
airspace, privacy, and data collection) UAVs are being used to
monitor fields, and since this is a "commercial" use, the FAA sticks
it nose in. Every goobermnt agency from feds to local yokels wants
control of the UAVs, but none clearly have jurisdiction, except
perhaps the FAA for airspace.
Farming is big data now.
