At the end of the day, someone has to do the actual enforcement though right? I'm not saying a government super database that knows everything about you isn't a threat to human rights as you say, but the biggest threat? I would have to disagree.

They don't threaten you per say but really they absolutely hamstring the one ability that matters if your incentive is to hold the seat of power: the ability to organize the population and form a new government or at the very least claw back some power that has been granted to certain individuals and groups. 1776 would be impossible today.
