> If you're not a criminal or a human rights activist, the government is probably not pointing its secret spying equipment at you
If there's one thing we know for certain about the US and domestic spying it's that they're targeting literally everyone. They were caught copying all internet traffic going over the AT&T backbone in the early 2000s and decades later Snowden showed us they never stopped pointing their secret spying equipment at us. The best you can hope for is that if you don't become an activist or commit enough crimes they won't pay much attention to the massive and ever-growing troves of data they have on you personally.
