Big Data

Cory Doctorow has an interesting piece in The Guardian positing that in the commercial sphere, if not the world of spies, big data has run its course. I especially like this quote:

The fact that the billions spent spying on everyone, always, has spectacularly failed to catch any terrorists is taken as proof that they’re not doing enough surveillance – not that untargeted, mass surveillance without particularised suspicion is a waste of money.
