I agree with you - The goverments do not care about our privacy. Again and again this has been demonstrated through the laws passed and practices of these big spy organisations.

What can we do? It feels like the drip is tightening and everyone is asleep.

What you can do is try to prevent legislation that puts arbitrary barriers to entry for competition. If privacy is as big a concern as we think it is, over the long term products which offer privacy built in will outperform in the market. Meaning Apple and google will build in privacy into its products or risk losing market share.

The only way that will be prevented is if a law(s) are passed which prohibit google from making changes that would make it harder for telecoms and government(s) to spy on you.
