Are we even the same species?

Having just had a conversation with a guy (he instigated it after reading some articles in a newspaper) at work about governments and private corporations having access to our email records, internet traffic record, DNA Records etc, firewalling our internet connections remotely, controlling what we see etc, i have to wonder are we even the same species as those we are trying to wake up lol.
