Not in that context per se, but in the context that a modern state (with deep-learning and cloud data) seems to now have the ability to create a near-perfect psychological profile on every citizen; the only bottleneck is compute.

I always wonder my internet footprint will last until earth is no more than a lava planet or the bitrot... Intrigues me that somewhere, there will be a server holding your contributions to projects.
