what kind of non-threatening information could be shared, hypothetically?
Everything.
Literally everything. Your bank transactions. What games you buy. All your online conversations. Your browsing history, personal information,
anything that you want to keep a secret. And if you try to sidestep this by using tor or things like WhatsApp which uses encryption, then they'll target you
even more because in their eyes, encryption is "suspicious."
You may not even care about this stuff and that's fine, whatever, but the majority of the population DOES care about this.
so what you're saying is, you're a liberal and not a conservative?
Rand is a republican, if that's what you're saying.
