I'll try to change your mind about the motivation. They didn't do it for government agencies, they did it because they want data about you. Any data. All data. It doesn't matter if it's useful right now or not, they want everything, your lifestyle, your family, friends, secrets, fingerprint, localisation, facial characteristics, DNA. The government is part of the system, so obviously they will play good guy/bad guy a bit, and then provide the data. But it was not engineered for this purpose, it was engineered to know everything about you, giving them more tools to profit on you.
^ This right here.
Government Surveillance is at most a secondary benefit to this whole thing, they want literally every single scrap of data on you because some day it might become profitable.
The problem is that many people seem to tunnel vision on the "government bad" part but totally turn a blind eye to the megacorperations behind the scene that puppet the government. Every time I see a lolbert scream about statists and muh guberment but then is totally fine with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple recording them every moment of their lives I know they're an idiot.
There is no longer a separation between Big Government and Big Business, Jewgle or Faceberg effectively can invalidate a candidate by refuses to show their ads, this is not a democracy, it's an oligarchy, and the ones at the top are Jews.
I wonder if I could convince data scientists to use deep learning on finger prints to try to predict shopping habits. It could work if you can figure out a race from a finger print.
