The data fusion company IDI in the US is the first real private Big Brother of Orwellian memory.
It has been authorized to collect data on every available data about you, even snapshot from public systems and GPS coordinates.
It is mainly used now by private investigators and regulated by Federal Trade Commission.
It has data of every adult American. I imagine the rest of the West will follow.
Nowhere to hide in our democracy (sarcastic)
