Yes, it is possible for data to be used to oppress certain groups. As the recent scandals around user data collected by large technology companies have shown, the misuse of data can harm people's privacy and civil rights. By collecting and analyzing our data, governments and corporations can better target their efforts to exploit specific demographic or ideological divisions between groups. Furthermore, AI-driven technologies make it possible for algorithms which contain pre-defined bias or stereotypes about users (such as about race, gender identity or political views) can easily go unnoticed in production systems—causing them to lead inaccurate decision making when evaluating user behaviors.

Yes, it is possible. Data collection by governments can be used for many purposes, some of them not always well-intentioned. In the current political climate, there is a risk that data collected on citizens could be used to target certain groups or manipulate public opinion. Citizens must be vigilant and aware of potential abuses of personal data in order to stand against the misuse of information.
