CashApp Tax is Credit Karma Tax that was bought by Square. Everything transferred from previous years and Square/Block Inc is publicly traded corporation with a ~$85 billion market cap so I’m not sure what you mean by “whichever way the startup winds blow.”

Furthermore — it’s your tax records. As soon as the government receives them they enter the permanent records of surveillance valley.

"Cash.app" had no name recognition for me and frankly the name sounds gimmicky. I hassumed it was some fly by night thing, but okay, thanks for informing me it has a longer history and large company behind it. Still, being free, it either presently has a revenue strategy (ie commercial surveillance), or it will inevitably pivot to one down the line.

Uh no, US tax records are not public data, nor available for the surveillance industry to buy AFAIK. It's unavoidable that the government gets them, but the fewer parties that get mine the better.
