So then the State can see what services I've signed up for, when and where?

The State is always more difficult and dangerous to deal with than a private company.

Of course it is.

Google can ban me (really just one specific digital instance of me) from their services. The government can throw me in jail, take all my property, fine me whatever amount they want, etc.

		The State is significantly less interested in your activities than Google, regardless of whatever hypothetical you'd care to spin.

a state has a monopoly on force, you've obviously never lived under a regime which actively wants to harm you.
