You seem to imply that some of the monitoring activities have slowed or ceased. I doubt it. I suspect Never Say Anything has moved the puzzle pieces to hide things. Long ago and far away I knew quite well of their powers, and they were awesome decades ago. I think it would be a terrible error to assume that they do not record EVERYTHING they can. Of course recording all that data is one thing. Looking into the data for keywords and patterns (watch for patterns) is another. At one time the analysis was heavily human. Yes the kickouts were digital even back in the 70s, but the analysis was human and very slow. Now I assume it's mostly digital. But the saving grace with Never Say Anything is that it is a gubmint bureaucracy. If it can fubared, it will be fubared. Job security, you know.
