Is that what you got from reading the book?
...yes? Did you miss the slogan "Big Brother is watching you"? Did you miss the Thought Police? How do you propose The Party manages to prohibit specific books, specific speech, and specific thought, if it isn't conducting mass surveillance? Your assertion that "the state should be able to monitor everything" is the first step on the road to 1984.

Why am i not in jail right now ? Why aren't you in too ? Haven't they got much of our data for some years/decades ?
Because I've committed no crimes. Which is all the more reason the state has no right to surveil every aspect of my life.

Do we agree that surveillance helps solving crimes or not ?
People taking out their phones to film a specific event is completely different to blanket surveillance at all times. And no, as I've shared previously in this thread, there is zero evidence that mass surveillance prevents crimes, and even the NSA admit that.

If chainanalysis is a scam service how do we know this is true ? Maybe they got the results totally wrong .
We don't. But either you accept that blockchain analysis is bullshit and therefore all their claims should be completely dismissed and ignored, or you believe they are completely accurate in which case you must also accept that the vast majority of mixer use is perfectly legitimate.
