I use ublock and Firefox tab containers. I try to not leave traces. But ultimately, I want governments to be able to spy on me, as long as a judge signed it.

There is a difference between companies collecting data for money, and the government trying to catch criminals.
That is where Snowden got things wrong.
I'm fine with data collection as long as it doesn't land in the hands of bad people or special interests.
People who claim "but government evil" are libertarians or have something against their government.

The only way to guarantee this is to ensure that nobody can collect your data in the first place. While the government of today might be benevolent, the government of tomorrow might not be.

It's possible to differentiate data collected by the government and other data collection. GDPR makes this difference easier. > While the government of today might be benevolent, the government of tomorrow might not be. That's either fear mongering or a slippery slope argument.
