    Sure, but technologies to be able to process large amounts of data, derive information from it, large easily available clusters have only taken ground recently.
    It is indeed the product of my deranged mind but I think you'd be very wrong to think that those things don't happen and no protection at all would be better than even the lightest framework that we can built upon.
    Really?

    GCHQ and the NSA have been doing that kind of tulip for decades.

      Are you aware, that your Bank, eBay, Amazon, etc. all do this with your explicit permission, as per their T&Cs? i.e. profile your spending habits, to target you better...

      I think you'd be very wrong to think that you can do anything remotely useful to stop it, except not using the services of those companies, but not using a bank will be especially tricky for most, who want the convenience of having wages paid to them etc.

      Hey ho, enjoy yourself
