Let's not leave corporations (particularly in the tech industry) out of this; they have a great deal of the same information.
The ethics of data collection on a mass scale is something which all industries need to take a long, hard look at.
From what I've seen even previously pro-mass surveillance people and politicians do an 180 degree on their surveillance stand when they discover that data has been used against them and it's impacting their life to a large degree at that point. This again points to the fact that they previously didn't truly understand the implications of mass surveillance and how easily it could be abused.
