I love the sentiment of avoiding the totalitarian dictatorship but you don’t exactly have any control there. Technology is leverage and it can be used for evil,

  So what do you propose instead? Destroy all modern tabulating machines a.k.a. computers just in case they'll get misused by the government? Then feel free to throw away that supercomputer in your pocket with advanced tracking capabilities into the nearest toilet and flush. Keeping a healthy democracy and our leaders accountable is far better for everyone than going back to the stone age just in case someone might misuse tech. And since you brought up Nazis using tabulating machines to abuse Jews, remember that the Nazis were also defeated thanks to computers to break their codes. The tech arms race is still a thing whether you like it or not and there's no going back. If your government isn't developing advanced snooping, they'll have no issues buying said tools from a country who does (US, Israel, Italy, Sweden, etc.)
