Surveillance capitalism dovetails nicely with parallel construction [1].
The surveillance capitalists sell your data to the highest bidder, with the agreement that the source of the data is not revealed.
Parallel construction allows the govt. to avoid judicial checks and therefore public scrutiny.
So it's a self-reinforcing cycle where companies get govt. favors at least as money if not policy, and the companies override constitutional limitations of the state.
