This is the option or use of data that I was the most concerned about with the whole NSA thing. Its not the tracking of actual criminal dealings but its the gathering of material for blackmail "just in case".
We see examples on this forum of 'say something a feminist doesn't like and they will report your twitter feed to your employer and get you fired'
The government is now re employing 'say something we don't like and we will leak to the press and your family your donkey porn viewing habits when you were 16"
I say re-employ as they cite hoover's sex file back in the day as a good example.
Anyway, my concern is that few people have used the internet for terrorist means, a few more use it for criminal means but almost everyone has used it to do something embarrassing and the gov't can now threaten anyone they choose with a Weinergate.
