My 2 cents:

For most folks that are concerned about avoiding ads, having security and privacy, there are probably lots of Android apps that have various levels of encryption or filtering. For example, I use a hacked version of Youtube that shows no ads. Purism/Librem 5 is stongly emphasizing these features. Surprised that more folks are not on that bandwagon. On the otherhand, I also worry that, in legitimate cases, having access to a phones data can be important, for example, in criminal investigations. Where do you draw the line between privacy and saftey of public?
I think that depends on how abusive the "watchdog" is...

For me personally I am not against a certain level of surveillance cameras, nor a certain use of location services by operators to know roughly where you are. But I absolutely hated things like browser is showing what my wife is searching for in Amazon; the exact shops/buildings I have been; the similar topics that I have been reading. (And I think this is the worst and creating the generation might being generally dumber...)
