I love the presence of this talking point here because its usefulness is self-refuting in this case.
1. To guard against tyranny, always focus more on government overreach than corporate overreach because the government is the one with the guns.
2. Corporations scooping up endless streams of data don't get the same level of scrutiny and pithy talking points from libertarians as the entity with the guns.
3. Class of data-mining corporations collect so much data that it's functionally equivalent to a tyrannical government demanding direct access to everyone's location data.
4. The government-- the entity with the guns that we want to protect ourselves against-- simply buys access to the data from corporations to get around the law.
5. We've done a poor job of guarding against tyranny!
