Oh I thoroughly believe the government has been doing that since dial up began. I think what may have taken longer was their ability to parse the intell. You don't think the sudden advent of free cameras in virtually everything was just some freak accident do you. It's all good, I am sure they use their magic powers wisely. 😉
Bottom line is don't get up to stupid things and there is really nothing to worry about. Eventually everything will be done by instant dna, although that will likely spurn a new level of criminal behavior. Bottom line is if someone really wants what you have they will find a way to get it. I am just waiting for the first cryptocurrency hack and run. It will eventually happen, for every brilliant mind creating a new way to use the internet, there are a thousand just as brilliant hackers waiting for the challenge.
I am also waiting to see what happens when we make humans thoroughly obsolete.
