This isn't rocket science guys. There is no magical mystical all knowing NSA/FBI that knows everything you are doing LOL.

A VPN does not protect you from 'big data'. It may hide your IP, but if your connections go anywhere near (including transiting) the USA, UK etc there's still plenty that can be deduced from the captured data.
Example, logging into GFY, which is not encrypted, reveals your username and password. If either or both of those are unique, and you use them anywhere else, it's a cinch to tie them together.
