Yes, but at the same time no.
Aha. Great insight.
Can we also talk about all the data collection and analysis which the govt. NSA/CIA/etc. do? 😇
Well of course, sir. Anyone interested in knowing more about how the total surveillance of all us is possible can read more on the Edward Snowden revelations on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden?wprov=sfla1 and The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files.
The only sensible solution to this sort of thing is to liquidate any company guilty of this.
Executives should face criminal charges. But in reality, it'll be a handful of small fines, business as usual, nothing to see here.
