That's a very important point.

Right now even if you assume NSA or CIA is watching your every click through Tor, I feel it's nice to at least hide from the ISP. One of my concerns is in the not so distant future they'll make internet history (what political forums people visited and even their usernames) public in some way and use it to rate users or discriminate against them somewhat.

But depends what you are doing, if you are trying to hide from the CIA lol this needs to be common knowledge especially for a journalist who isn't very tech savvy and is being contacted by a whistleblower, etc.

You're going to see something similar to China's social credit score far before you'd see your history be public. They need to aggregate just how large of a Nazi you truly are first and then use those arbitrary rules to ruin your life

Yeah good point. I'm not sure where the line is but I'd definitely draw it at banning guns.
