In the 1980s, most people did not use computers; those who did, mostly used personal computers or timesharing services. Both allowed you to install software of your choice. Both allowed you full control over your data, though it is not clear what access the timesharing services gave to the FBI. In any case, the timesharing services mostly faded away by the 90s.
