What governments are and are not authoritarian is honestly a matter of perspective. No government should disrupt or intercept private communication between law abiding citizens without reasonable suspicion that there is imminent danger to human life.
That’s the main problem though. The state is also the entity that decides what “the laws” are and thus they decide if you’re a “law” abiding citizen or not.
