The endgame is to be able to have your fingerprint in every device you own, and it is not going to be optional. So that no matter if you uploaded a photo from your phone, an ipad, your PC - they will know it was you. It's going to be embedded at every level of the stack, from a file - right down to the silicon (if Intel's involvement is any indication). They want to know every piece of content you create and distribute, not so that they can trace it back to you - but also so that they can ultimate shut you down if you don't live up to their standard of "good citizen".

I can see in the future the prices for "pre-spyware" hardware going up, much like "pre-emissions" is a thing in the car enthusiast community and lately, interestingly enough, farmers (right to repair and all that). Computers are plenty fast already, without the bloat of "modern" software forcing you to upgrade... if we're going to go down that conspiracy rabbithole further, those hostile behaviours all align against the users.

Do you have any proof or even hint for your suggestions or is this just a doom 'n gloom mixed with "they are out to get you" paranoid trope of the week?

Do you think the mass deplatforming of "wrong thinkers" - which we have been seeing a shocking amount lately - is going to be harder, the same, or less difficult with something like the CCPA tracking literally everything you are doing?

When I was first on the internet, there were about 16 million people using it. Now there are allegedly around 5 billion. Roughly 260 million people got connected in the last 6 months or so. How many does it take to be a shocking mass?
