this reads more like a hope than an actual argument. AFAIK, the protests in hong kong are more about sovereignty than government surveillance (though I would be happy to be corrected). I don't get the impression that the average american cares very much about surveillance, whether it's by corporations or the government. they might make some offhand remarks about how they don't like it, but you don't see anything like the BLM or occupy protests. it's too abstract. I don't really see any mainstream politicians even discussing mass surveillance by the government. at most, they might make some empty threats toward google/facebook/twitter.
