It is paranoid for the average person to think they're sufficiently interesting to be a surveillance target.

Passive surveillance being a thing means everyone reading this text is a target.

Everyone in the global west (and China, and Russia) is subject to mass surveillance. That's documented fact, not paranoia.

We aren't in the 1970's. It's cheap and easy to do dragnet surveillance, and it costs a fraction of a cent to store text communications and to perform speech-to-text on audio and video.

You don't have to be interesting, you just need to exist to be caught up in the dragnet.
