The ops point is that the 'risk' of the corporation having that data is that the government could get it.
Otherwise the damage to you is what, an embarrassing ad if your sharing your screen? How does an ad on reddit having context of what you googled an hour ago actually hurt you?
Yes it's 'privacy' but there's no human involved here. The companies involve don't actually care what you're viewing (unless again, they're required to report it to the government).
Focus on government, cool. Is the government tracking me with cookies, offering cloud services, tracking me with ads, and whatnot?
Sorry, but we should talk about privacy at the source of where we are losing it.
In fact, it might even be easier to make the case that corporations want our focus to be on privacy at the state level and not their brand.
