Do you think that your having heard of him, or not, has anything to do with how much power he wields? The guy commands the NSA and a big chunk of US military forces. See: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/06/general-keith-alexa...

He's probably heard of you and that's the real power. He may have to do a few searches but he definitely knows more about you than you know about about yourself (you can forget what you said, how you felt or what did--the computer does not)

you're ridiculous if you think a person can be reduced to a model derived from algos
He is still subservient to the government. And really you would only know the most mundane stuff about me by seeing my google searches.
Dude, he IS the government.

In the sense that J. Edgar Hoover was an "employee," perhaps.
