Agreed that users are likely more concerned about private surveillance. I was trying to point to a slightly different aspect, notably the convergence of private and government surveillance. Governments use data and tech from private companies. Generally, the strict separation of the two spheres (government vs. private surveillance) has become blurred and private companies’ surveillance poses new challenges to democracies. On example that comes to mind is the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the corresponding data gathering of private companies targeted at influencing public opinion and elections.
