In the end, you have to protect yourself.
Regarding large-scale surveillance and privacy violations, politicians and the media are not only failing to see the problem but are also suspected of trying to use the power of giant IT companies to gain their own benefits. In the current situation where public institutions and experts do not provide sufficient warnings, users need to gather information themselves and take countermeasures.
In the end, the reality is that "you have to protect yourself." If you only take official information at face value, it is difficult to understand how surveillance is being conducted. It is important to understand these mechanisms and risks and take measures as necessary.
