In many countries, universal digital surveillance does not record what you say, only who you talk with. But that is enough to be quite dangerous, since it allows the police to follow social networks. If a known dissident talks with you by phone or email, you are a candidate for labeling as a dissident. It is no use ceasing to communicate by phone or email with fellow dissidents when a dictator takes power, because his secret police will have access to records of your past communications.
