Data Mining vs Privacy. Large amount of data available in digital form. Statisticians query data to mine useful trends. Potential for privacy breaches. Stanford University course.
Data mining (DM), also called Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD) or Knowledge-Discovery and Data Mining, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns using tools such as classification, association rule mining, clusteri

It is possible for something to be not really that good (i.e. having low inherent value) but function with high social value.
