The problem isn't that your government buys the stuff, the problem is that companies just get that data for free...

The problem is also that the government can simply buy it without any kind of warrant or due process.

No, its on the free market, its like saying the government needs a warrant to buy Onions.

The bigger issue is that this data is available at all, China could buy it over shell companys for example.
