Hey, don't be so pessimistic.
For sure it will be available for government agencies to subpoena or even outright purchase.
This is the free market. Everything about you is for sale.
I'm sure this current administration and some oligarchs have been, and are, doing everything in their power to know as much about each of us as possible. With AI and some Doge 'behind the scenes' work, a bad actor could say "I want to know everyone who shows even a slight bent to the left" so we can target them." Control and manipulation is the point. Everyone reading this is a target. And I'm sure I'll be bumped up on their 'people to be concerned about' list after writing this.
