>Lawmakers said that the evidence appears to show that "Meta and Google failed to implement adequate safeguards to prevent the transfer of taxpayers' sensitive personal and financial information, despite their contentions that they did so." The description of the data that was shared is quite vague in the article. But If this is the result of tax prepping companies putting Meta pixels in pages containing personal data so they can show ads (shouldn’t these be only accessible by the user anyway so they can’t be scraped by Meta?), or manually adding personal data to analytics parameters (so they could check time on app by income etc), then I think the fault lies with those companies rather than Meta and Google
