The government worries me more than people/companies for two reasons:
1) The government can track me everywhere with cameras anywhere they want in public; companies would be mostly restricted to when I walk past their franchises in most cases (drones could be an issue, but cross that bridge when we get to it)
2) The government agencies have motivation and a history of suppressing new or bothersome political parties which challenge their budgets. Ether by spreading dirt gathered via other activities or jailing activists such things are at least substantially harder for a company to accomplish.
