You being insignificant to the government does not mean the government collecting data about you is not a threat to you. Maybe one day you cut off the wrong FB

You being insignificant to the government does not mean the government collecting data about you is not a threat to you.
Maybe one day you cut off the wrong FBI agent on the way to work, or may be a friend of a friend knows someone with access to the government database.
There are countless ways, outside of a Edward Snowden, scenario where the information may harm you but would not raise to the level of a National Security Investigation
We know for a fact the agents have used the databases to keep tabs on Friends, Family, wives girlfriends,etc. Even for their own Amusement, looking and passing around intimate photos... After all these are just insignificant citizens, not a threat to anyone, so who cares if they pass around your dick pics right...
The fact that your are insignificant means they probably would not think twice about using their access to look up info on you, why is irrelevant.
Then there is the Ever Present data leak, look at OPM, at any point one of these databases can be compromised and your data simply uploaded to Paste Bin...
People that marginalize the risk of their personal data "because I am not a terrorist" are just as bad as the "I have nothing to fear so I have nothing to hide" people...
They do a disservice to everyone attempting to fight the government overreach... you sir are part of the problem.
Databases of Ruin my friend... Databases of Ruin
