Isn't this the same argument as "The government is not allowed to censor free speech – but nothing stops it from colluding with / coercing private companies to do its dirty job"?
It is puzzling that such "bypass of privacy / speech rights" was ferociously resisted by the some of same people who now applaud the "bypass of medical / physical integrity rights". Hey look, it's not us doing the violence and suspending basic human rights – it's the private companies!
I guess people need to see how this ugly pattern plays out in full, again. I anticipate a lot of future "How could they let this happen?" and "Nobody could have foreseen this!" as well as the sad classic, "Is there no one left to stand up for me?".
