Or once could say, "Rest assured, as we gradually erode the sanctity of your privacy, the time will come when all interested parties will have sufficiently profiled you. Eventually, you will be distilled into a simple element within a behavioural prediction model. At that point, we will be anticipating your actions even before you are aware of them. Then you won't have to worry about being watched."
