I'd like to point out two things that are relevant: 1. There is a Presidential candidate who has absolutely, positively stated that if elected President, he will use government power to go after his political enemies. Like 100%. No ambiguity on this, he is campaigning on it. 2. This candidate has been estimated at having at 45-49% chance of being elected the next President (since that is his chance of winning the electoral college) according to a recently quoted US political expert. As the expression goes, life comes at you fast. It really wouldn't take that much for being protected from government to be even more important than it currently is. So if today you'd say 'I'm not worried about the government scanning my data', please note that the negative power of government interest, and prosecution of perceived enemies, could escalate exponentially very quickly. This isn't a hypothetical: we have a candidate that has said he's going to pursue his political enemies, and there's good reason to think that nothing will be off limits.
