I was not thinking of leaving the planet.

In democratic countries there should be the option of verifying
whether the government has the property that it “ritually
collects all your data and forces corporations to be complicit”,
and if that is the case, of using democratic processes to fix
the government in that regard.

In non-democratic countries the choice might be between either
working on fixing the democracy deficits first, or emigrating to
a more democratic country.
