    It could be good, but it won’t be.

    Even if their current intentions are honest, someday that will change and some exec or VP will see an untapped revenue source and exploit it.

        The point you’re missing is that it doesn’t matter if their intentions are honest or not now because even if they are (that conditional is a seriously important word there!) there’s no way to ensure they will remain that way.

        There is no safe way to bring surveillance capitalism into a commons, no matter how pure the motive may or may not be at the moment.
