It's good to be aware of your surroundings, especially on the "world wide web", but there is a strong difference between cautious and paranoid. I for one, am not a big social media person. I'm pretty much off the radar. It's not because I'm a paranoid person but because I'm just not interested in putting myself out there. I have better things to do. So I really have nothing to worry about when it comes to the NSA or ultimately, the government looking at me. For most of us it's common sense not to post ridiculous things online that will get the attention of the government.

Also, the government is tracking us anyway through IP adresses, credit card information, city cameras, etc. We are all being watched but am I paranoid and worried 24/7? No, not at all. I have nothing to hide.

My point is that some people take this "big brother" stuff too seriously. The government is going after terrorist groups and lone wolf terrorist cells that are meeting and cordinating plans on the internet. The government could care less about this wiki's chat or blog posts. The government isn't worrying about kids on a Lego wiki. It's not their top priority.
