This vaguely reminds me of the time a paranoid coworker told me not to store tax documents on the cloud because the government could get at it.

You're missing the point. That is it's possible, if not probable (per books like Dragnet Nation, Snowden, etc.) that data is being collected and you have no idea why, who, etc.

I'm not saying i think that's what happened. I'm saying there's a part of me that has good reason it it's possible it could be that. Crazy? Not more than some of things we know the intelligence community has done or tried to do.

I'm not missing the point. I'm not saying it isn't happening because it's some crazy Tom Clancy plot. I'm saying the intelligence agencies have better ways of getting that data without also giving it to a ton of other bad actors

You should read Dragnet Nation. I'm not talking about bad actors. I'm talking about legit data collection and resale outfits.
