    Do people really think the government is tracking hundreds of millions of people? Who is looking at all this data? What makes people so important they think the government is watching them?

      All they need to do is store it in an organized datalake and then whenever it’s necessary run some ETL processes and retrieve information from there. You’d be surprised with the size of data warehouses the US has. There’s plenty space to store all that.

      For most people, the gov isn’t actively watching you. But they are surveiling you nonetheless, keeping records (for fun and profit). Raise a stink with your local police or local government, though, and you’ll find out how quickly that data will be mined and used to make your life a living hell.

        I know its reactionary and an extreme example, but hiding innocent Jews got you in big trouble in Nazi Germany.

        If the government decides something completely reasonable and just os criminal, youre fucked.
