Once Google and Facebook aggregate all the data on you, and your power consumption isn't sufficient to cook the rice and chicken you bought or power your EV for the distance GPS navigation logged, you're busted!
Certainly we need to tax you on photons used. Only rich people can afford solar, and it isn't fair poor people have to pay an electric bill.
I'm sometimes able to spot things in data, malfunction of equipment or other anomalies, based on understanding.
I heard a keynote talk from a Googler. He described AI being taught to examine photographs of retina, became able to detect diabetes damage better than an average eye doctor, then better than a specialist. Then given subject gender info to learn from, it also could determine gender to high 90's percentage, compared to eye doctors who were no better than a coin toss. Teaching vision systems to guide a car down the lane or a blind Boston Marathoner to follow a painted line worked similarly. Just train with examples, and it most of the time does a remarkably good job (without any understanding.)
All the power company or law enforcement would have to do is feed consumption patterns for many people and identify which were various types of violators, and AI could then rat you out. Whether someone has a grow house, guerilla solar, or conscientiously turns out the lights upon leaving a room, Big Brother can know all. (or at least think he does, and be correct with some statistical probability.)
