None of them particularly care about the average citizens interests, so treating the two similarly seems fair.

Who would you rather have logs of all your Internet activity: your own government, or another government thousands of miles away that is increasingly at odds with country's?

I could argue that I'm much more worried about the set of events my own government can set in action against me if they so choose.
The other government has less power over me because they are thousands of miles away and don't control the institutions that I need to function as a citizen.
That being said, the foreign government might be less afraid of using my information against me, since they would be less afraid of blowback.
I guess I'm not sure. Both suck.
Better use TAILS.

This is never an either/or situation, it is neither/both.

It is increasingly "both, and do nothing about it" or "both, and be vocally opposed to it, and potentially cause issues for yourself x years from now."

The answer highly depends on who you are, what you do, and who is interested in your information.
