The usual caution applies here. The danger of data isn't in the data itself, but in how it's used and interpreted. In this particular case, a relatable comparison would be a book - it's just a bunch of words on a page, but those words can be used to inspire or to manipulate. Pretty important to be mindful of the context and the intent behind the data.

Something important I was thinking of the other day is the power dynamics that come into play with data as the new currency. Those with access to more data (money) and better tools for analysis (investment) of it end up having an unfair advantage.
