It works the other way too: If a politician objects to FAANG privacy violations, they should not introduce laws that allow such violations themselves.

Of course they can. It makes sense for the government to be able to arrest people, but I absolutely don't want to give corporations that right (especially not FAANG - judicial systems a bad enough as is, but Google's customer support is still a downgrade).

The government and the private sector are very different and what one of them can and can't do is not necessarily related to whether the other should or shouldn't be able to.
