You may want to go to your local library and start looking up your interests there. Even that doesn't mean your interests aren't being watched by someone.
You want the feds or the state or the security service they contract to watch your every move and record arecord of those doings, you go ahead and sign a release and invite 'em to eyeball you to their hearts content.
I on the other hand regard intrusions of any type on my person, house, papers, and effects to be an insult and affront; the government has no reason to distrust it's citizens unless it is itself involved in illegal doings.
mayhaps we need to look at this from a different perspective. Government is in service to us, the citizens. It is OUR instrument, answerable to US, it's creators. And I refuse to accept that the government, which we; the people created has any legal authority to in effect become my keeper. It is the other way around.. and they need to be brought to account in this regard, as it and it's executive have obviously violated the laws that were written to control it.
edit: I would like the citizens of this nation to demand however that all public officals at all levels be subjected to the kind of scutinity that they demand for us. We the People, have the right to know without doubt that our public officals are honest. By accepting a public office, every financial tansaction, every fact of their lives, public and private should be available 24/7 via webcam to every single one of their constitutents.
There would be no need for such scutinity of private citizens.
