It doesn't matter if there is someone actually looking at the information or not. The violation comes in collection. If they collect, I will self-censor. Free speech cannot exist without privacy because speaking to myself is not actually speaking and speaking to anyone else freely becomes impossible. But you're right about one thing: most people are indeed too stupid to realize why they should care. The government doesn't care about people who are furry ... until furries do something that the government doesn't like. Then they'll care. Then they'll care a lot. Too bad it'll be too late by then to do anything but watch the furries get executed.
