Everyone is worried about the government but they are the figurative "plane accident" compared to all of the other online threats we face The difference is one is an accident or an action by third parties, the other is done by people who derive their authority from the populace, aka in your name. It's essentially the difference between how the wind blows and what your hand is doing. Even if you think you got rid of the NSA (and you never will) Not if your advice to "just move on" is followed, no. No wait, actually: remember how nobody could ever touch the mob, and how everybody would have spoken German for at least 1000 years, if the Roman Empire didn't still exist which it will always do? Yeah, me neither. there's still all the other black hats There is a difference between the wheel of crime being reinvented all the time by individuals, and letting it fester into huge organizations for which you are much more directly responsible.
