    You cannot be convicted for an action that was made illegal after you comitted it.

    That was not my point. The point is, if the tech for mass surveillance is already in place and the laws change to more authoritarian or even just more dumb, it will be harder to escape those.

    “I have nothing to gain from sharing my life with them”.

    That is obvious not true, otherwise people would not be using social media.
