Of course corporations want this data... It makes them more able to scout potential gold mines in the future. Plugging everyone in allows this "data" to dictate which demographic gets targeted for labor industries and which get targeted for consumerism. People are livestock and the top 1% are farmers. The ones put to slaughter are still fed and given health care. Don't tell me this system is designed for EVERYONE to enjoy a better quality of life. It's a targeting system for the rich.
