It is software created by a private company, so technically isn't the government already the 3rd party? Honestly at this point, I am not sure I could trust anyone to have that kind of surveillance overreach any less than the Nazis running the federal government.

Not to say that I would trust a private company any more. Just to clarify everything is fucking garbage and society is on the brink of complete collapse, and once that happens I guess it really doesn't matter who has access to my SSN, banking information, health conditions, or embarrassing browser history.
