This article is missing the point. Government should protect people's rights. This isn't a private matter. And companies are for-profit entities. They care for money. Less so for ethics and morality. And why is only sharing information with the government bad? Isn't the real issue how they collect all the data about everyone in the first place? Is sharing that with privately owned entities okay? Like other people, your health insurance company, targeted advertising companies, hackers? I hope not.
