Yes. Lots of people seem to miss this point. It's not about your individual privacy, it's about one entity having access to massive amounts of private data. Big Brother has never been more real than it is now. Maybe so far they haven't done anything really malicious with this data, but they could.

He controlled the most powerful politicians in the country, because he knew intimate details about their lives. And that was based mostly on tapping phones. Who knows what kind of control these government agencies are able to exert on representatives with the surveillance apparatus they command today.
