    Also, I would contest this:

    Never before has the government had so much power.

    I feel that the legitimacy of governments is collapsing and power is going to corporations, in a hurry.

    In other words, we got so busy worrying about direct government spying we let a handful of corporations completely take over the information sphere, instead.
