Oracle rents out computer time at their massive data centres so they would be in the same position as AT&T (that collects Internet data for the FBI through the Internet backbone) to collect data.

Current valuation 265.47 B
Divided by 5 billion is 53.094
So even if they liquidated the entire company that's 50 bucks per person before legal costs are covered.

They purchase data and use browser cookies to correlate data people put on to the internet and construct mostly accurate profiles based on the metadata that seems to be connected.
So for example if you use the same emails for amazon and youtube and then watch certain videos or buy certain products their system uses the data from those views and purchases, notices they're both connected to the same email address, and then constructs a marketing profile based on the accurate assumption that the same person is behind both accounts and the purchasing/viewing patterns therein.
