While Alien: Covenant does not contain specific portrayals of Privacy and the Government, it is worth noting that in the universe of the Alien franchise, the governments of all major nations all have their parliaments controlled by the Weyland-Yutani company, the same company that sponsors the Covenant mission and creates all the major technologies shown in Alien: Covenant. This suggests that the company is able to get away with many malicious practices in the creation and testing their technology without the government to restrict them, which likely leads to many of the technological flaws and conflicts within the franchise.
