I agree, but it's a lot easier to block or just avoid that kind of spying. That's a lot different than the NSA putting backdoors into your computer, or reading all your private texts, emails, and phone calls.

And the same tools can be used to fight both. Tor for example, allows you to hide your IP, and various browsers and tools prevent you from accidentally leaking private information to identify you to these websites. Secure operating systems and programs protect you from private hackers and adware just as much as they do from government hackers.
