    Yet a lot of those mass shooters said they were going to do it online for like two months before they did it. So many stories of ‘why didn’t they catch this crazy person saying theyre going to murder a bunch of people’ all while there’s massive data collection and analysis programs operating.

    The surveillance you speak of is not to protect us. It is to protect the state and also the corporations running the surveillance use it to make quite a lot of money. They both get the added benefit of exerting control over the population.
