@bruces data gathering isn’t the only bad thing santa has done. He uses elves as Spies and cheap labor (slavery/child labor), flies with reindeers (aviation without proper licence and flying air craft that can’t be tracked with air traffic control). Tax evasion, limits freedom of Mrs Claus (kidnapping and few other crimes). Breaking and entering. Also piloting while drunk ( only heavens above know how much booze the nog has).
