Just my tin-foil hat opinion, but if anyone thinks the US is not heading towards a surveillance State on par with China, then I have a bridge to sell you.
I’m guessing virtually every government in the world is surveilling and collecting data on as many people as they can. I don’t think that’s tinfoil at all but actually a part of the job of modern intelligence. The only (sorta) counterbalance citizens have is the concept of citizen’s rights (including privacy), which may legally barely exist (if at all) in other countries.
