Conspiracy theorists on the other hand: "CIA, Aliens, 3 letter agencies...." Blah blah blah.
I'll say this though, the notion of having the ability to know what's going on on the internet is a good concept, even if abstractly. It's just that the implementations have never been meaningful other than focusing on attaining/ acquiring a capital of information composed of data about people that can then be utilised in other ways, for monetary values (which was a cool concept, in it's own respectful ways, but I think it's still not there, and it is certainly not the kind of thing that would directly serve society and help give back).
