I don't think the fact how knowledge of the privacy and tracking changes individual behavior is brought up enough. With the knowledge that we are constantly watched I choose my words on and offline more carefully. I try to keep some more radical opinions to myself despite them being neither illegal nor worth much attention anyways due to the fear that they might be either now or some day interpreted as opinions worth persecution. This in turn eventually leads to constantly living in fear of voicing your opinions truthfully and without filtering and gives way to society where thought policing is a reality and democracy cannot function in reality.
