Surveillance by corporations is also used for: - creating, maintaining and exploiting information asymmetry - manipulating markets, fostering rent-seeking - finding new ways of externalizing costs that escape easy detection - polluting honest policy debate - manipulating the democratic decision-making process - avoiding responsibility for malfeasance - etc, etc, etc, etc, etc and yet more etc

On the large scale, I do not want these entities to have access to weapons-grade behavioural models. On the small scale, I do not want them to have compromising information about individual behaviour. They will use whatever leverage they gain to enrich themselves far beyond their utility.
