Amish not being in the "regular databases" cause they don't use
technology (i.e., like Facebook, or any of the other databases mentioned
previously). A better way to word "It wouldn't just be a selective
subset but pretty much who, where,
when and probably why without too many non-Amish exceptions." would have
been "It wouldn't just be a select subset of people, but basically the
who, where, when, and why of almost everyone, with little to no
exceptions (aside from the Amish and suchlike folk, who obviously don't
use technology). Make sense now? :D

Forgive me for being dense but, what does "non-Amish exceptions" means??

    "some leet profiling"
    if you look at what netflix (supposedly anonymised) + imdb was able to
    do, or the classic of AOL releasing their searches (again anonymised)
    then a join of google with facebook is quite a scary prospect.
    Especially as d of b + partial zip/postcode allows for
    re-identification most of the time (i believe that d of b + state =
    85% re-identification).
    It wouldn't just be a selective subset but pretty much who, where,
    when and probably why without too many non-Amish exceptions.
