Until the politicians want to come after you for posts you make on HN, or any other infraction they decide is now an issue.

History is littered with the literal bones of people who thought they had nothing to fear from the state. The state is not your friend, and is not looking out for you.

go watch any movie about a panopticon for the (overdiscussed) side-effects of a surveillance state.

Fiction works, but if you want to spend the evening depressed then go for any East/West Germany (true) stories.

For it or against surveillance and I can understand, but just not understanding the issue? No excuses -- personal surveillance for the sake of the state is one of the most discussed social concepts in the world.

And this kind of stuff already happened in UK even before "AI craze". Hundreds of people been imprisoned because of faulty accounting system:

You have nothing to hide given the current, reasonable definition of crime.

What if that changes?

Great! Then you don't mind telling us your email password!

Presumably not. Whether he has any acts to keep secret is not relevant to whether he'd like to have any money left in his bank account tomorrow.
