even before that, with today tech, every hardware could be sending some

Free software + encryption though are solutions that at least should put
anyone willing to do it into a very complex problem if it's intended as
an attack to our community. IMHO, free software + encryption + community
should be advocated near social uprisings to make people aware of the
military-corporative background of current societies technology and the
imbalance of power that can be hardened with it.
1984 has already happened.
You know - the US government copying US telco's data stash for its own
analysis is a much-hyped but still small thing compared to the amount
of data that companies compile on you. Facebook stores every wall
post, private message, photo, etc even after you remove from wall,
delete or untag. Gmail scans your email to place relevant ads. There's
loads of deep-web mining companies that are compiling profiles on you
like pipl.com. These companies' systems administrators are still less
accountable than the government's, though that doesn't mean any actual
abuse is going on.
And didn't a debian package maintainer for one of the SSL (?)
packages modify upstream's code years ago and accidentally introduce
new security holes? That almost certainly was an accident and those
holes almost certainly get discovered/patched but that's computer
security
