It seems to me that the 'state to spy on every phone call, email and websearch' is not about to happen, it already is happening. The policy stunts are merely the pathocrat's antithesis to the thesis dawning for the masses that "digital data and activity is fully visible to authorities". And so in the Hegelian dialectic the pathocracy torments us with they posit "the pathocracy must scour and store all personal data to protect the public from terrorists." Too bad the reasoning can't accommodate the whole truth and that doesn't bode well for whatever synthesis we're in for.

These SOTT call outs address a forefront concern of mine while standing in the unenjoyment line and trying to get a grip on reality; namely my digital footprint. During my last job of 12 years with a software development company it eventually became apparent that email was sniffed, but I had doubts how widespread or to what extent that practice was amid the general clouds. It's becoming apparent to me that the suffocating paranoia suffered under my previous employer's snooping is a full-blown widespread disease and is more deeply invasive than I'd imagined.
Just recently I had an email exchange through Gmail, and while composing the mail in the Google mail browser-app noticed that the "More about..." suggestions in the right-hand toolbar conveniently listed "conspiracy theory", "government conspiracy", "conspiracy operations", "government conspiracy operations", etc. I thought, "what in the world could be inducing those suggested links?" and then realized the email I had open mentioned "Alex Jones", "psy-op", "disinfo" and "NWO" (the word "conspiracy" was not in the mail content). Those "More about..." suggestions happened to be provocative by virtue of that email's content, and so I've also seen mundane recommendations in the list pertaining to "Ugg boots", "Ugg Australia", "Australian boots" when I've had emails open with brief mention of such items. Regardless, the activity is clear, every email is not just sniffed but scoured, correlated with related information, and then used to induce further action.
Similarly, on the job hunt last night I happened onto a tech firm's site that I had once visited before. Though I did apply for one position at that company several months ago, I never created a profile on the company's site. I only browsed job listings on that site last night never applying for anything, and yet this morning I conveniently received an email from them listing a couple positions that match my credentials (sent to me at 1:00 AM). This indicates that even though I communicated nothing to the site besides mouse-clicks on hyperlinks, my mere presence at that site was somehow correlated to my digital identity, tracked, and induced relevant action based on personal data of three months ago.
These are just a couple of the hard demonstrations I've seen highlighting the digital surveillance already rolling. Given the lack of self regulatory features the pathocrats are trying to function without the implications are ominous to me. Constrictions on freedom of speech now appear to be demonstrating true colors in encroaching on freedom of thought.
