On the contrary, I would expect a site with a usersbase that screams incessantly about "privacy" and has an intense hatred of data-mining dark patterns, dislikes opaque ML models, would be against the lack of privacy and data-mining culminating in an execution by the state.

Whether they kill you with a remote-controlled drone, an autonomous drone, some manned platform, or just a man is orthogonal to whether the decision to kill you is based on privacy invasion and inscrutable threat detection algorithms.
It's not orthogonal when the entire killchain is automated.
