I get all of these hypotheticals, but, again, we know that it's not true. The government routinely collects and shares information that it shouldn't. We can't talk about it like it doesn't because it was designed not to. We have to contend with reality.
But we also know that Meta routinely collects and shares information that it shouldn't.
At least the government shouldn't on a theoretical level?
I don't understand the fascination with pretending. System A is bad. System B is worse. System B theoretically shouldn't exist yet it does and there's nothing you can do about it, so now you're advocating for B. What's the rationale?
Systems A and B are equally bad in practice.
System A is that way by design . System B is that way despite the intended design.
