The war on terror was never about Muslim terrorists, it was always designed to lead back to "domestic terrorism" ie: political dissenters for when we live in Commietopia.
Remember when they conveniently pointed out that the average American commits 3 felonies a day? It's all tracked. Everything anyone has ever done on a smartphone has likely been tracked and stored. Everything any smart device camera or microphone has ever seen or heard has likely been recorded. This is why data is so valuable, not so they can program algorithms to tailor the ads they show you.
Sorry, what now?
What is this "citizen data"? How do I get access to it? Who is presently storing it and where and why?
