Speaking of data centers, why are all these required, all of a sudden, around the world?
The amount of information being collected is outrunning the processing and storage capabilities we currently have. New vehicles that record every start, stop, braking etc? Smart home appliances? A gazillion cameras everywhere?
Future speeding tickets could automatically be issued when your car reports your speed to a data center. In a "brownout", your A/C could be remotely reset 5° higher. Any emails, texts or phone calls with a persona non grata could get you on a list. Purchases from separate places to conceal what you're building wouldn't prevent authorities from determining what sort of mischief you're up to.
If a law-abiding citizen such as myself could think these thoughts, imagine what uses the bad actors could come up with.
