I expect that TOR and its equivalents will be banned soon as although you can trace it is relatively painful to do so. As a minimum you will be flagged if you do use TOR and then your non-TOR use monitored heavily.
Exactly why we should be fighting for out right to privacy. There are many reasons to remain anonymous, leaking information on illegal government snooping for one.

Yes. Although it is hard to argue with people that don't get that. The tired phrase is of course "But if you have nothing to hide ... ". And I don't (most of the time ) but I would quite like that decision to be mine rather than the software that is monitoring my usage ...

You are all on an open social media platform. You are sharing information all the time, some legal and for some illegal. Even on closed networks and so called "dark web" areas technology is still watching you.

But, there is not a security service in the world that can process all the information they harvest. But they will target individuals who they think are a risk or are committing offences. Even East Germany at the height of the Cold War still had difficulties getting the information with their massive stool pidgeon network within the Stasi.

Many very serious driving offences have been investigated and social media was trawled, often finding boasts of street racing which as added to the final decisions.

Wake up and understand that we are small fish in a big barrel but can and will be targetted if we are suspect.

Out of the vast amount of data that is harvested it is relatively easy to search in near real time for certain characteristics and flag them for further investigation. Then as you say you are targeted specifically and a more detailed search on the data is then performed.
