We live in a surveillance state, where was this attitude when corporate America and the government uses every device we own to surveille us?

You know how to stop that? Turn "location" off on your phone. Instead of taking that simple step, you'll bitch and moan about corporations controlling you when in reality, you enjoy using their services,

Take some personal responsibility for once.

It is off, along with strict permissions access for all my apps. Location permissions doesn't stop surveillance through the variety of other means though.
