Fiat education at its best.

John Reese: Never understood why people put all their information on those [social networking] sites. Used to make our job a lot easier in the CIA.

Harold Finch: Of course. That's why I created them.

John Reese: You're telling me you invented online social networking, Finch?

Harold Finch: The Machine needed more information. People's social graph, their associations. The government had been trying to figure it out for years. Turns out most people were happy to volunteer it. Business wound up being quite profitable, too.

It cuts both ways though. As people write to social media, sure, they hand information to the government for free. But as people read from social media, they get a true picture of what society is thinking and wrest free of the government and media manipulations.

Interesting concept! I would say this could be true to Nostr, but less likely to be true for company controlled social media.
