Not only _can_ it go pear shaped, but it definitely will. Political allies and strengths change decade by decade. Just as one example, Russia's just passed anti-gay laws. I'm not usually a tin-foil-hatter, but I'm definitely leaning that way when the option is this:
The first point offers a lot of truth. If you don't want many of your data going round, then do not use any of the services of Facebook, Google, Apple and all the other corporations as a client where it's officially known that they collect data, even if it is only for their own purposes like advertising and so on. At least for these popular corporations, no-one should be complaining anymore that they collect his data - it's been official for quite a lot of time. Who uses them and finds anything somewhere where it doesn't belong; it's all your own fault. Because there once was a life without Facebook, people didn't die because they didn't have it and there is going to be a life after Facebook and these corporations and their popular products. It's a lot of a mental thing.
