Facebook collects a lot of data from people and admits it. And it also collects data which isn't admitted. And Google does too. As for Microsoft, I don't know. But I do know that Windows has features that send data about the user.

My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.
Genius is that energy which collects, combines, amplifies, and animates.
My family collects vintage pinball machines, so I have a few in my apartment.
