You do realize that FAANG are collecting user data and are more than happy to supply it to the government, don't you ? /s

Yes, but that is legally different than a government agency breaking the encryption on our devices without a warrant.

Legally, yes. But the government does not break the encryption. Neither your favourite online provider. You just agreed to let them spy on you (TOS) and gave them access to your passwords.

Yes, they (companies) promise they won't sell your data and only give it to government with a warrant.
