Does the surveillance state affect us? It has affected me, and I didn’t realize that it was affecting me until recently.
People who don’t take about certain issues because of the surveillance state obviously can’t make those examples in this thread.
But I agree that all the examples you listed are pretty trivial. On of the reasons I post under an identity linked to my real name (firstname + first 2 letters of lastname) is that I think the benefits outweigh the fear that someone will use what I write against me.

Plus, you will not be tempted to write about things that you would only write about under an assumed name, and then be outed.
