I don't think there is any doubt that they are collecting nearly everything, and sure they could plant data on a computer and charge you wit a crime, but they don't need to. They have passed enough laws that you are guilty of something, if they want to come after you, and even if you aren't? Well, did you expect justice in a court of law? They can't read the plain words of the Constitution, much less other laws, and you are an evil racist hetero white christian male. These tools just make it easier in certain circumstances, but they aren't necessary to the task. But they have a sorting problem.. they may be able to record nearly everything, but finding the needle they are after in the haystack is much, much harder - and you know there are bureaucracies in place ( to protect those in power in the deep state from these tools) and that these centers are staffed by lazy, arrogant liberals.. and as I am sure you have also seen - the average age of your cohorts is dropping and, for the most part, the millennial incompetency factor is growing.
They can't troubleshoot anything on their own, and they are supposed to manage a network collecting information on every person, every where? Its Atlas Shrugged with a cultural component where people are not just prevented from creating and innovating, they are actively warped by screens and schools to be unable to think.
The time of open war is coming, and I am sure you will have noticed the economic storm clouds have not dissipated. We are about to loose western civilization and make our last stand before the gates of Mordor.
Something may rise from the ashes, but there is no use in getting upset that you can't rely on the trappings of western civilization ( like privacy, rule of law, true, reciprocated civility and tolerance) Those things are gone , and survive only in each of us and those we personally know who stand there fighting the tide.. and we will be able to exhibit them less and less as the war moves forward, and hopefully we hold on to them as what we are fighting for. Hopefully we still find ourselves able to return General Howe's dog when the time comes.
