Normally I would say China, because it has a strong incentive to create an automated system that censors everything the leadership wants, and that manages "citizen scores", and spies on everyone at all times.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. intelligence agencies want to do that just as much to Americans and the whole planet, but do it in secret.

Yes. The heavy lifting when it comes to spying on the US is already being done. Applying data analysis would be relatively trivial at this point.
I think there are challenges in the analysis dept: many higher ups are too clueless to know what they want or interpret what they can get.
