        Surveillance capitalism will continue the fascist takeover until the whole planet is a totalitarian company town and we are all slaves to big brother; paying a daily subscription to breathe.

        I’m not even joking.

          So you’re saying we’ll live in locations owned by the state, paying money issued by the state, and if we fail to pay armed thugs will lock us up?

      Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.

      For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.
