Maybe we should do a South Park with their TrollTrace plotline and make the data publicly available (maybe purposefully exclude the last 6-12 months of data for a little bit of secrecy), and watch the public rage while they can look up the movements of everyone they know!

Though I don’t think that would even work, as people’s anger would be directed at the public directory rather then the source of the data and how it was gathered…

(Edit: Don’t actually do this, as it could / probably will, do more harm than good. But until the majority of people get angry at such data collection, it will just continue to happen)
