You can't avoid or end the surveillance but you can negate a good deal of it. Use Tor and VPNs for your activities online, encrypt everything of any importance, use burner phones paid for in cash, pseudonyms and aliases. (In other words, pretend you're a drug dealer) Unfortunately, this takes effort and most people are too unaware or unconcerned about privacy to do much of it.

If you're ever having a bad day and feel like nobody will listen, just remember that the NSA is always happy to!
