Do you really think that any government agency would want to look into your stuff? They have many better things to do I'd think.

Of course they won't. They just scrape it and store it indefinitely to see if their analysis tools can extract anything interesting somewhere in the future which might very well be a false positive since as you said noone is actually going to look at it.

The amount of storage they need to do that is infinitely expensive.

Sadly not expensive enough. Sorry, this is 2018. The days of technology not being advanced enough to support whatever horrible shit people want it to do are long gone. Big data baby. What can go wrong?

Or to put it another way. When google manages to have pretty much the whole internet available at subsecond latencies do you really think your tiny bit of personal data is any kind of challenge?
