In that case and now, in this case, too.. the government will have a legal monopoly on the data.

  There is nothing that will magically transfer corporate data to the government.

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. No magic is required, only sufficient desire by those in power. That wasn't my point, though. It was that now only governments are allowed to gather and keep this data. Granted, the breadth of what's available to them may not be as great if they're mainly recording traffic with no access to corporate servers, but even that access can be periodically arranged given sufficient desire.

        That's a pretty extraordinary claim, requiring extraordinary evidence. There have been enough leaks that the public knows even European governments spy on their own citizens.
