| Yes, in terms of taxpayer money, taxpayer privacy, lack of taxpayer access to compiled data, and increased scrutiny of taxpayers as a result of the data compilation.
Plus more targeted ads!!!!

| Sure. In other words you (the taxpayer) pays to have the gummint pay someone else to gather and collate data about you (the taxpayer).
Or, if you prefer, you can give it to them for free via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. But you'll pay anyway (via taxes).

I don't give them squat unless they're interested in things like my dog eating a package of Peeps or pooping in the bathroom inappropriately (most of my friends are dog people, so that takes up most of our conversations).

| said by La Luna:...unless they're interested in things like my dog eating a package of Peeps... Well if a law is ever passed making feeding dogs Peeps illegal they'll know where to find you.
And that's the point. One can never know how all this information will be used against you sometime in the future.
Here's a specific example for you. Suppose you apply for some job but the employer hates dogs. In this day and age they'll find your FB page. You'll never know, if you don't get the job, whether that was a factor or not.

I know that's a hypothetical situation, but frankly, if that's the way they felt about dogs (for example), I wouldn't want to work there anyway! So maybe it works in FAVOR some of the time.
