Keeping our privacy, both digital and otherwise, secure from intrusion isn't and absolutely shouldn't be about simply keeping them secure from "bad governments" and nefarious data thieves. The point should be to rigorously prevent governments of any kind using any supposedly good justification period from easily knowing or tracking certain things. If history should be able to teach us anything it's that good governments can become corrupt and that the data held by any large organization can quickly be stolen or misused by its individual members or others for their own ends. Data like that shouldn't simply be "secured", it should be made extremely difficult to collect in the first place, especially by any large centralized party.
