Who is your email provider? What services is that email address ties to? Do you have a phone number attached to any services? Any kind of storage enabled within your web browser? Do your machines use a commercial OS? https://twitter.com/trad_art/status/1360055193077911556

If any of the services you use are hosted in the United States (like Twitter), the USIC can use a special warrant to take your information from the provider. Fighting this in court is generally futile, though corps rarely do that.
If any of the services providers are in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, or the UK—collectively known with the US as the Fourteen Eyes—the intel agencies of those countries work with the USIC.

Patrick Casey is worried about the feds getting information they ALREADY HAVE or are getting right now. Does he really think they're going to mass arrest people for having “groyper” in their Twitter handle? Do you?
That might happen someday, but only if paranoid twits like this guy convince all of you to stop organizing. When they come for you, it will be when you're alone and when no one will protest. Patrick Casey's delusions are the dangerous aspect of this scenario, not surveillance.
