We used to call the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire" for collecting about one tenth or less of this data on its people. That and rounding them up en masse to send to the labor camps. In the US we had this thing called "McCarthyism". For a while back in the 1950's you could very easily be fired from a professional job for having read certain materials (mainly those from the Evil Empire of course) or having had certain political discussions when in college. Just wait a few years until you need to find a health insurance plan that will agree to pay for the expensive medical treatments that will let you live a few decades extra. We'll see if your past web surfing and consumer habits make you worth keeping around.
