No. The NSA/GHCQ took it to a new level available with the internet and general automation. All the predecessors had to do with manual work and needed to target surveillance. What's qualitatively new is the ability to have extensive files on everyone before they even become interesting. Even the Stasi files are ridiculously minuscule to what the NSA collects.
