My preferred solution to this is to enforce common carrier constraints against any business that has access to your personal data -- from communication to purchases to telco messages to tracking your geolocation.
Alternately, we could demand that the government get a warrant before acquiring any/all personal info from any source, and prosecute any authority who violates this.
Of course enforcing either option would require a Supreme Court that gives a damn about the principles enshrined in the Constitution, and we learned from Snowden this is absolutely not the case.

It's not the goodness of their hearts, the police would love to have a phone conversation where you describe where the drugs are. Instead the same wire-tapping laws apply to companies _and_ governments. (hence why companies don't record all the calls you make on your corporate phone but sure as shit can search through all your corporate emails).
