Yes. Information asymmetry benefits those in power.

Better an even playing field, where everyone has access to everything.

Or, you know, don't use social spy platforms if you care about privacy?

You can avoid social media all you want and still end up with a shadow profile that’s quite info rich. I’d prefer these companies to eventually fade away like most companies do, rather than become permanent government appendages.
