You excel at twisting words.
I don't believe that the government has been half as intrusive as business has been. Besides, the government is not trying to defraud and otherwise separate people from their money and possessions. Having been a target in an AT&T saturation telemarketing effort that lasted close to 2 years, I can attest that business's intentions are far from benevolent. And if that's not enough, they're making all kinds of money off our information.
Do I like government surveillance? Not particularly, but I do have all kinds of issues with companies' violation of my privacy, which impacts me much more so than the NSA.
