Given this distinction, your questions are about freedom, not about autonomy.
That a copout. How about just answering the question as posed?
A clear yes/no to the question would still help to be more clear about your position.
Moreover, although there is no sharp boundary, autonomy mostly refers to the freedom of your mind.
The extend to which I can safe information to have it accessible in the future is very near to freedom of mind.
Take someone with a hearing aid. Do you really consider that hearing aid to be irrelevant to someone freedom of mind? In a feature in which computer costs and storage get really cheap you could expect a hearing aid to safe audio of the enviroment to get better at distinguishing speech in a particular moment from other sounds.
How does surveiling your communication reduces your freedom of mind or autonomy when a secret gap order that disallows you from talking about something doesn’t reduce your freedom of mind or autonomy?
A clear yes/no to the question would still help to be more clear about your position.
I believe a yes/no answer will mislead you further, but be my guest: I am not sure what “gap order laws” are, but for libel/defamation laws the answer is no. The answer is no for the second and the third questions as well.

Then why isn’t scanning someone email also irrelevant to someone freedom of mind?
Laws restricting your freedom are mostly like fences: they separate certain areas of behavior and post signs “Do not go there or bad things will happen to you”.
Surveillance isn’t like a fence. It is like living in an aquarium with no place to hide.

Yes, I do.
Sorry for the typo. I meant gag order laws. A libel suit where you are not allowed to say that you are being sued for libel.
