Yes. My government still has legal slavery.

Edit to add: I'm talking about the US. The 13th amendment didn't outlaw slavery, all it takes is for the government to decide you are a criminal and you're now legally a slave. You can imagine this might be a good reason to not want the US government involved in your privacy because it can lead to you being a literal slave.
