The problem with this theory is that every time 'big brother' is empowered, all other parties are empowered as well. People can organize easier than ever before against malicious causes. The number of communication channels available to us is growing each day, making it increasingly impossible for any one entity to control all of them. People and entities trying to leverage private information are increasingly under the microscope themselves. Perhaps one day congressmen are mandated to conduct all their work on camera, similar to the way policemen do. Technology doesn't care about intent. Some people will use it for good and others for bad. Edit: For clarity, my position is that no Uber customer's routes should be accessed without a warrant. However, even if they fail to observe the constitution, they will eventually loose. There may be a politician writing a law today so that his uber rides to visit his mistress stay private.
