I frankly couldnt give a toss that people may watch me...

If you have no problem, then please post about a dozen personal pictures of yourself in this thread. Alternatively, simply admit that you are talking BS.

if people think a government is out to get people for something they havent done.

Sounds like you're not really getting the problem. They are collecting pretty much any useful information they can get, about anyone, no matter if these people are currently being considered criminals or "law-abiding citizens". If later on a specific person ever catches the state's attention, they instantly have access to a sheer endless plethora of very personal information they collected over the years that they can use against you.

For the vast majority of the population, this will probably never be a very personal problem, as they are simply to unimportant. Their naked dick pictures will be stored on some NSA data center, but no human will ever look at it. The intelligence services are mainly interested in very influential people like politicians etc., not the average citizen. But this doesn't mean that the average citizen is unaffected. If the high profile people running the important institutions are affected (for example by threatening them to publish compromising information they collected), the average citizen is affected as well.

Just remember PORNINT, which proves that intelligence services are indeed collecting information like porn viewing habits to discredit people who express "controversial ideas" on popular social media websites like YouTube, Facebook etc.
