>You trust a private corporation more than actual laws and government procedures and you feel right and cool?

Governments all around the world have proven many times that they are corrupt, incompetent, constantly make _horrible_ mistakes that impact our privacy, etc. What's your point exactly?

So have private corporations. The point is that government at least has a mandate to protect it's citizens. Corporations explicitly do not care... and in fact there are many situations where they would be taking on significant liability if they put user privacy above profit (putting any above profit risks a shareholder suit or shareholder activism to bump executives/board)
Are you seriously asking this question? https://soapboxie.com/government/who_do_YOU_TRUST
