When it all started years ago, I was agin it, but I give up now.
Between cameras and data, nothing is private and since I live an
honest life I figure, there's not much there that can be used against
me.

It was always there in one form or another, in 1955 I applied for a
visa to stay in the US for a couple of months (from Japan) and was
turned down. My father phoned the US Ambassador to ask him what was
going on, he checked into it, came back to my father and told him it
was because they knew I had stood as the Communist Rep in the mock
elections at school in the UK !!!! He told me I had my visa, not to
worry.

Makes you think doesn't it? Wonder what the US Embassy in Tokyo would
think now of Trump and Putin, would they give either a visa lololol
