By knowing where you live, what you do, who you are related to, what web pages you visit etc etc, they can keep you under control. Look how they did it in DDR. Everyone was constantly afraid, knowing the Stasi had a file on them, and my guess is a lot of those people hadnīt done anything wrong in their entire life.
Of course, what is wrong or right depends on the current regime...
And why I ask, should the government or any shadow variant of it know so much about me? Why do they need that if as you say I have done nothing wrong?
And what are they going to do with it even if they
do know what you're doing?...
And control
what?...What do you want to do that may need to be controlled in the first place?...I've not been stopped doing anything anywhere...online or otherwise...Ever...
I've walked past however many CCTV cameras; had a bazillion phone calls; sent texts and emails...Look at the posts here that I've done...I used to be
worse on some of the other forums I've been on...Even the ones I was Global Mod on!...

...
Yes, the Stasi and *Insert secretive government agency here* aren't going to be anyone's friend...But half their power comes from the fear of them...
I maintain, if you don't do anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about...All they'll have is a load of Spam to wade through...
Plus, it helps if you don't have a webcam, satnav or GPS enabled phones...
