Meh, collecting information is different from acting on it. My underdtaning, which could be wrong, was that people legitimately lived in fear of getting found out by the stazi. There isn’t a good reason to fear the NSA based on current actions, that I’m aware of anyway.

I’m afraid the NSA regularly funnels information to the FBI and other domestic policing entities, and this has been widely documented [1]. The government even deigned to declassify proceedings from their special secret (!) court that decry the practice where NSA gives illegally-obtained surveillance to the FBI, which then manufactures a reason to go after someone using a technique known as “parallel construction,” concealing the surveillance source(s).
