Are there ways to circumvent this? Selfhosting? Encryption before sending?

Not for the masses. They cannot be bothered and most likely don't care until it is too late.

For the technologist, it is easy to circumvent in the private sphere of life at least.

I foresee however, a digital ID that will be tied to all your essential services, that you will be required to have in order to live, and that's the tracking and communication point that will be used to get a hold of you.

Kind of like the chinese social credit score, but in the EU of tomorrow, your digital EU idea will be the choking point. Do something out of line, and it can be revoked and with it, your bank, credit cards, health care, travel and other services.
