I don't mind being warranted, if they come to the door with warrant I will give them my boring, pedestrian inbox

but I do mind my data being drag-netted, or hoovered up by scummy big tech and then sold on

(whether that's for slop training, ads, anything really)



Why do you mind that? Your life is exactly the same one way or another. Principles, I guess, but it looks to me its just for the sake of it. For me, time is precious, all I need is data safety so I backup stuff offline constantly.
