> Set your own house in order before judging the government. Why?

  Because its hypocritical to expect the governement to not use tools and data analytics to improve 'user experience/citizen's well being' while being guilty of the exact same behaviour. dont wait for others to do the right thing, get your own house in order, then help the rest of the world.

    While I agree with the desire to reduce tracking on that, and other, site, there is a clear difference compared to when a government does it. For one, you could likely not avoid it if the gov did it, while you can "just" chose to not use that site. For second, just now the post about the auctioned japanese gov disks with tax payer info on them, illustrates how such sensitive data can be lost. And third, the risk of abuse. All it may take is an election. So I think it's ok, although not the best, to do have a look at those in power even if the looker has a dirty house themselves. The alternative is worse.

  You have to admit it is a bit ironic to speak about cameras surveillance on a page where ublock origin count 19 trackers. Government or not.
