You'll have to start by convincing the electorate that collecting all the data "just in case" is a bad thing. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is a belief people actually hold about aggregation of private data.
Unfortunately the best way may be through spreading FUD: Get people to believe that government employees are perving over pictures of their children, and attitudes will change very quickly.
