And if you fly, drive, use credit cards, use cellphones, etc the government already knows enough about you.

Heh, I see people like you pop up every time there's a discussion about privacy online. My guess is you work for the US government or a contractor, the messaging is always the same: "Don't bother trying for more privacy."

But it's a lame, weak gambit. If the collective you weren't terrified of privacy you wouldn't try this every time there's a discussion about privacy online.

I’ve worked with both payment processors and integrated with EMR/EHR systems. I’m well aware of the information captured. No one cares about your Reddit history.
