Consider that the governments (state & federal) have all your data and have since you were born. Do you think a bigco would have held all that data for that long without making your life a living hell? (imagine the spam and unsolicited phone calls that you would be getting wo the protection of said government). If anything, things have become worse as more bigcos (like insurers) require government managed data (like health records).
