So considering many of the things I've said on here recently I should expect my door to be knocked down any day now?

I'm serious. Is this actually a danger to me. If so, I can be screwed over real fast. I have some mistakes that could bite me in the ass if people in government decide I'm being too much a nuisance or risk.
Not it's an honest question, I've been a bit paranoid about it actually. I'm not in the best place mentally or emotionally and am on a somewhat self destructive path. So between bouts of crazy and not crazy I get worried I've gone too far.

Information gathering on citizens has always been ongoing through all time
We ar all required by law to give certain personal details ... these are recorded
All Digital communications are recorded and monitored ... Menwith Hill for example is known as listenig station
The base itself reputedly has reps from various secret services and technical experts including NASA
It is true that dossiers of all citizens are collected
Social Media is a great tool for this purpose
Why ... Is it for nefarious reasons or something other
Most all dossiers are never viewed ... only a few will be cause for Human intervention ... the hard work of scanning for potential threats is done by the "Beast" for want of a better a word ... a machine in reality
What are the threats they are looking out for
The controllers of this Beast are not representives of any government
Indeed they monitor governments also
Fact or Fiction ? You decide

I very much doubt this.
First, because you think web developers are the ones that know how to do all this stuff when most of the stuff you're referring to would be done at the hardware level, or atleast in a language like c++ rather than what web developers deal with.
Second, because what you're speaking is complete rubbish. There is no giant central computer running everyones life, and even if there were snail mail wouldn't get around it because they take pictures of address labels for metadata collection. Phones are not secret listening devices, they can in theory be used that way, but they don't sit there constantly waiting for you to say something of interest.

it has already happened
how many similar concepts have been explored
it's not just conspiracy theorists and writers
that can think of
and invest in such a thing
"The king stared at the figure in astonishment. It walked with rapid strides, moving its head up and down, so that anyone would have taken it for a live human being. The artificer touched its chin, and it began singing, perfectly in tune. He touched its hand, and it began posturing, keeping perfect time... As the performance was drawing to an end, the robot winked its eye and made advances to the ladies in attendance "
en.wikipedia.org...
there are billions of people with thoughts just like yours
some are in the position to explore it
some aren't
organic machines a taboo topic ?
