Your is the reply I hear from many who basically claim to not give a damn.
My question to them is the same to you: "So, if you don't mind them reading your mail then you won't mind finding the letters in your postal mail box opened, either?"
To think one is different than another in its implications is delusional.

First off, no I don't care about that.
However, your analogy fails. They don't read your emails. They parse them but no person is actually reading them. For your analogy to work it would be if the post office open your letters, scanned them into a database, then sealed them and mailed them to you.
But what is the threat? Can you quantify the threat?

Well - I'll count your reply as the usual BS because you haven't found your letters opened by - well - someone. What, after all, do you have to hide? At least, of course, until you find out someone's been looking. Email invasion doesn't leave a trace - so you fall in with the ranks of these three[^].
The bravado exhibited by someone who says they'd not scream while their feet are not yet in the fire.
As for 'the threat' ? I don't know if you can get this, but the term is "Dehumanizing" is a good start for you. For me, that matters. For you? Perhaps too late.

How would you know that?

You feel like you're not a human because someone else logged your email, didn't even read it, just logged it for future searching? That is YOUR problem, not the industries.

You know nothing about me, can't quantify or backup your statements, and then try to use juvenile insults. That's pathetic.

We all see your posts - we not only know something about you but (as another juvenile remark) more than a bit more than we'd have wished for.

I cannot believe anyone gave the government higher than a 1 in terms of trust.
The government will sell your data for a fast buck - don't care where you are this is true for every government, whatever its politics. Not only that they will will share it with each other.
Its not always true to be fair, the question you need to ask yourself is this: Do you pay your fair share of Tax or do you give members of the government free holidays in your luxury yacht?
If you answered Yes I do pay my fair share of tax, more-so even, then you are a minion and your data is for sale. If you answered No I regularly entertain the more important governments, royalty and other obscenely rich people then you are one of the ruling class and your data is secure. Incidentally if you are unsure you are a minion. Ordinary billionaires aren't rich enough you need lots of billions, and we need that to be in dollars or equivalent. This is how the world works. If you have a revolution all you do is elevate some new people into the ruling class to replace some (but almost never all) of those who were revolted against. If you change the government more conventionally all you do is replace those who serve the ruling class with another lot. Its really very simple, never, ever trust the government with your data. You can trust them to do some other stuff, you can probably even trust some governments to be fair and even handed with their lack of care over your data, but actually protecting it? Only for commercial purposes.

The 5's for big tech? 
The business model for these companies is literally to harvest and sell your data.
Especially Facebook has been found guilty of abusing your data multiple times, but there's still someone who thinks Zuckerberg seems like an honest enough chap?

I fully know that Big Tech harvests and sells my data. It is all clearly spelled out in their terms of use and by their histories. But, if someone tells you that they are going to do ABC and then proceeds to do ABC, even if ABC is unconscionable, does that make them untrustworthy?
I completely understand that Google and Facebook will stop at nothing to make money off my data. They will skirt the law and always interpret their terms to their benefit. I go into the relationship eyes-wide-open and they continue to perform to my expectation. I accord them them level of trust that they deserve, and they never disappoint.

Well, if you look at it that way...
Captain Jack Sparrow said: I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly … stupid.

I assume 1 means least trustworthy and 5 most trustworthy? (5 implying a higher quantity of trust).
What is trust measured in anyway?

As a long-time science fiction reader, I'd love to have a conversation with an intelligent non-human. Unfortunately, the closest I can come to that is a discussion with a member of the opposite sex - non-male, but certainly not non-human.
