Idiot. That Google most definitely cares about any person's privacy does NOT follow from their practice of not selling or sharing your personal habits. I'm glad you are in no position to legislate, you moron.
Why are legislators sugar coating executions? Take the death row inmates out back and shoot them. It's cheaper. If you have a problem with them being shot, then you will probably have to have a problem with executions in general.
Hire a robot to do the shooting. That way no one will be forced to deal with "it".
The point of John Oliver's crass humor was not to attempt to convince us that it's a good idea to frame "the problem" in terms of junks; John Oliver is a master satirist. The best motivation I can think of for this surveillance piece, was to try and make this piece so absurd as to ensue hilarity, and make it appealing to both those interested in the topic of surveillance and those who aren't. It's a brilliant technique to spread a message, it keeps those who weren't interested in surveillance interested enough to remember Oliver's piece several days later. The real message to the budding interested, because why interview the FBI's Most Wanted Man and not care enough to point his target audience in the right direction, and all those who are behind the message aren't stupid, was to watch CITIZENFOUR.

Self-correcting curious entities. If there's teeth on them, we're bound to become enemies.
