It's not about many people vs. few people. It's about a single person doing little with a lot of effort vs. a single person doing an enormous amount with minimal effort.
All I'm saying is it should have been a problem at that point.. not just because it's easy now to do it at a high scale.
The former is massively damaging to our rights, the latter is almost useless and thus barely a problem worth talking about.
The difference in scale matters.
It's about how costly (in time, energy, money) is it to build how complete of a picture based on what level of prior suspicion?
