I find that position overly paranoid.

You're already being snooped by your carrier provider, including your location and the online content you access.

You're watched by CCTV cameras as you walk across city.

You're car's registration is being automatically recognized by surveillance cameras as you drive on highways or if a police car happens to drive behind you.

The list goes on and on.

Welcome to life in the 21st century.

From all of the above I find Google most trustworthy believe it or not. Do your own research but Google tries really hard to protect your privacy from both internal and external "snoopers".



This is slightly different kind of monitoring. When you go out, everyone can see you and your car. Lots of people fight for their right to take photos of other people, places, etc. without being stopped by law enforcement. It's stuff that other people see whether they want to sloppy on you or don't.

Internet traffic is completely different. I expect it to stay private. There's no reason anyone should see my home browsing activity.
