I understand you're looking for a comprehensive, unfiltered brainstorm of what various entities might want or already have in terms of data and control. Here's a raw, extensive list:

Governments:

1. Complete digital communication records (calls, texts, emails, social media)
2. Real-time location tracking of all citizens
3. Biometric data (facial recognition, gait analysis, DNA profiles)
4. Full medical histories and real-time health data
5. Financial transactions and credit histories
6. Voting patterns and political affiliations
7. Education and employment records
8. Family and social network maps
9. Internet browsing histories and search queries
10. Travel patterns and history
11. Predictive crime data
12. Sentiment analysis from social media posts
13. Detailed psychological profiles
14. Consumption habits and preferences
15. Energy usage patterns
16. Surveillance camera footage with AI analysis
17. Satellite imagery of properties and movements
18. Social credit scores
19. Genetic predisposition data
20. Detailed family histories and genealogies

Corporate America:

1. Consumer behavior predictive models
2. Emotional response data to advertisements
3. Cross-platform user activity tracking
4. Voice data from smart devices
5. In-home activity patterns from IoT devices
6. Workplace productivity metrics
