The purpose of state #surveillance is not to target you now, specifically. It is to stay capable of targeting you later, maybe. It is naive to joke about powerful intelligence agencies "for sure" not being interested in an average human being like you. Because they are. They are interested in establishing the dull baseline, which you may be part of today, which helps to automatically detect the outliers. For that, it's not exceptional "lawful access" that is required, heavily constrained by regulation. You need an ongoing, massive stream of behavioral data that gets collected and analyzed easily, en passant, because everybody's got "nothing to hide". You will notice that only when you feel the time has come to resist. Because by then, you will become the outlier, and the patterns extracted from the behaviors of your former, careless self will help to put the spotlight on you, and to hand you over to the butcher. #privacy
