&gt; Government is accountable<p>that is funny right there....<p>&gt;With private services, you&#x27;re more or less out of luck,<p>In a way, but last I checked google nor facebook are legally empowered to Arrest, Put me in a Cage, Raid my Home at 3am, Shoot my dog, Detonate Explosives in my children face or even Kill Me.<p>So yes google violates your privacy,  to sell you shit, the government violates your privacy to put you in a cage or kill you.  I am more concerned with the latter...
