You couldn't get anyone to volunteer their personal information to feed this machine. Then again, people are handing over their retinal data to some shady startup so who am I kidding.
They aren't really getting people to volunteer their information now. There's a sign on the door, but no actual proper agreement - no formal contract with consideration. They basically distract people with something shiny while they pick our pockets, rummage through our wallets and copy everything inside.
