No, not always.
You send a friend an email to his gmail account. Now Google has you on their radar.
Facebook? A friend posts a photo of you and your face gets tagged. Now Facebook starts to track you even though you don't have an account. Don't disable scripts on the webpage and they embed a facebook script... they now track you, just like google.
As to the government... they have a duty to protect you. And you could always move away...
