I think that's a really valuable way to look at it. I definitely have limited my behaviors based on potential external perception. Especially with the trend of calling lesser and lesser things extremism or domestic terrorism. I remember Snowden posted that a country singer got thrown on a watchlist for performing at one anti-war protest. I think a lot of people under appreciate how important privacy is. Every piece of information you put out there (without great consideration for privacy) can be traced back to you, used to form a profile on your behavior, and then be used to manipulate you. Ads already do this, but there's no reason why it can't apply to even more pernicious things.
