> I don't see where you get that people are blaming the platform.

Other than when Senators referred to it as a shocking breach of privacy by "Big Tech" and the article includes a digression on Facebook's supposed long history of privacy issues, clearly implying this is another such incident?

Well, they do. That's why those tax prep companies should be doubly careful about sharing sensitive data with them. And it was "by tax prep companies and by Big Tech firms", so they didn't put all the blame just on Google and Facebook.

Nobody said they put the blame "just" on Google and Facebook.
