The only difference between right now and then is that right now they aren't doing anything about it. They already have the data about people's opinions and leanings as a side effect of the massive network of tracking built for targeted advertising.
It will obviously be worse when we're stuck renting computers, but what you're describing is a today problem just as much as it's a future problem. The only reason it hasn't turned full 1984 is because they haven't gone full mask off yet.
