Google and Facebook...

Their goal is to know more about you than you know about yourself. I'd be surprised if they don't know the length, weight, and overall volume of the shit that I took this afternoon.

EDIT: As for how that would be implemented, they could have software running in my phone that analyzes the plop sounds while I'm on the can to determine the above factors of my stool. Has somebody patented that idea yet?

They could also enter a data sharing agreement with a toilet manufacturer in which they add a sensor measuring the deformation of the toilet after taking a dump as well as a weight sensor. This in turn would make the toilet cheaper.

I think it's probably possible to measure such things from space with a military satellite, even though tracking your stool wouldn't be one of its intended applications.
