A quick question. If a few years back someone claimed the government is reading every email, listening to every phone call you make, and viewing every picture you put online, what would you think? Conspiracy theory?
This is how conspiracy theories work, in truth the government may or may not have the ability to do this, but I doubt very much whether it actually is, for very practical reasons.
'reading' isn't quite the right operative, but 'snooping/storing' might be closer - and as others have mentioned, these are not fanciful & impossible conjectures, unlike the 9/11 or Moon landing conspiracies & their loopy 'logic' (to say things in a nice way)
