Even in the late 1960's . . . when one filled out the forms for a TS clearance etc. (or any other, for that matter), the keywords were gleaned from the info you provided and ran through the computers. They bragged that they'd come up with stuff you and your closest loved ones didn't know about yourself.
Folks seem to have a ton of wishful thinking about where the files/data in those literally acres of computers come from.
Over the decades, I've bounced what my tech colleague told me in the Navy off of other folks who were in positions to know something of such goings on. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM affirmed the validity of the assertion.

I think one simple thought experiment is a worthwhile consideration re this topic:
1. Have powerful people--kings, governments, oligarchy
EVER in recorded history
NOT used an advancement in technology or social structures
WHICH
gave them MORE POWER, MORE !!!!CONTROL!!!! over the serfs and slaves?
I can't think of a single case--certainly not in terms of broad issues etc. There may be an isolated exception here and there with a "Good King" etc. but I think those cases are very very rare.
2. Is the technology available TO do the 100% monitoring of all electrical communications circuits?
ABSOLUTELY And has been for decades.
3. Therefore, it is more or less CERTAIN that the current ruthless, corrupt, evil etc. oligarchy are using all available technologies to monitor the serfs and slaves.
4. Even the Teletype coming alive after the initial Air Force official Roswell Press release about the flying saucer--the teletype came across very BRAZENLY ORDERING the radio personnel etc. to NOT report what the teletype had just had to say about the crash. imho, that was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of their monitoring capacities THEN.
5. Certainly 20-30 years later, the monitoring technologies were greatly better with literally acres of computers--in at least the USA, Australia and the UK.
6. I'll even say something more . . . out there . . . some of my intel sources insisted that not only were the USA's circuits so monitored by us--so also were ALL the circuits of ALL the more advanced countries as well as most others.
