It's worth mentioning the history of 'coordination' or 'bringing into line' between the public sector and the private sector here, especially gleischaltung[0].

It's worth mentioning the history of 'coordination' or 'bringing into line' between the public sector and the private sector here, especially gleischaltung[0]. I'm not trying to make a direct comparison, but the executive branch's "calls for them to hand over more data" are fundamentally about totalitarian surveillance and control. That may not be the goal, stated or otherwise, but make no mistake: the effect is the same. It's worth considering how we might feel if Russia or China were calling for something like this.
