Are you sure, how can you be sure? I reckon not (and they couldn't anyway). And I've no illusions that all the protections that I've evoked/implemented myself against Google et al would add any meaningful protection either. Methinks, the only way to bypass governments would be to delete one's ISP account and throw away one's PCs and smartphones.
