I'd rather have the government have it than any company. The government's (usual) mission statement, in practice, is our well-being; any company's mission statement, in practice, is money.

Governments have far more capacity to harm people though.

  But we have far more capacity to change governments.

    Why do you say that? Far more industry leading companies (much less companies as a whole) have rose and fall in power, changed their goals/products/management/etc in the past 5/15/50/etc years than governments. Turnover is far higher in corporation management positions than congresses and parliaments, and further, there is no law saying that I have to buy any specific good from a company, whereas I don't get a choice in which government I pay to build the the roads or police where I have established my life.

Do you mean you would rather have our current government to have the data, or a specially crafted government that we can control? If you pick the former, then I'll assume that you're naive to the abuses in our government. If you pick the latter, then I'm going to leave and be productive somewhere else, because you're never going to get it.
