Do they really need to know with which hand I am likely to wipe my arse with, though?

Smaller companies using the services provided by the bigger fish have caused a self-perpetuating circle of ever increasing imbalances in many areas.

The resources that are being spent on not only keeping this machine in tact, but as seen in the article, grow it even further, show that this machine isn't going to stop itself and that higher intervention is required.

This is going to be costly and hurt in other ways, but with it being a massive stap towards a sort of post-scarcity society as was shown in Star Trek and by the Venus project, it's worth every tear and every penny.

If anything the society depicted in Star Trek has even less privacy, but ok.

I don't want privacy just for the sake of having it. It's a tool that serves a purpose that's no longer or significantly less relevant in that story.
