In the nineties (and even later) I read a lot of cyberpunk set in near-future dystopias where government power had crumbled and evil megacorps ruled the world, usually at the expense of personal liberty and privacy (the two are closely related).

Now the megacorps are trying to defend our personal liberty and privacy from governments that have gotten too powerful (albeit mostly because it would improve sales)! That's... unexpected.
