Big tech is not allowed to lobby for the government to pass certain laws or restrictions or whatever else.
Big tech is not allowed to voluntarily or in any form shape or a communicate any data with the government unless it is strictly related to government business and employees.
The government may not communicate in any form shape or way any data to big tech unless the conditions from the above paragraph apply.
Government may continue to regulate technology companies, but the data they collect on their users is considered strictly not in the domain of any form of government.
Unless we are talking about court cases with discovery and the defendant being able to defend themselves. If someone uses Facebook to commit a crime Facebook should be liable to reveal data about the messages they sent by court order for a *public* trial.
It's the law, it'll be written by a billion lawyers who consider edge cases like this and this little comic will apply.
Overall, you're giving more power to Big Tech and lessening the power of government over Big Tech. They will be able to hide their offenses under the cover of "user's data", which the government is not allowed to see.
Again. This is literally what law is all about. All existing law was created from baselines like these, and this is a very very poor excuse to refuse to regulate a massive and dangerous industry.
Refusing the ability for the government to absorb the data of big tech is not empowering them, it's weakening them.
There are always severe consequences, there are severe consequences if thhe status quo remains as is, there are severe consequences if the status quo changes
We have got banking privacy regulations through the world, we have got religious and government split laws through the world. These both work and are needed
It is due time big tech becomes split from explicit government interference with political aims and goals as shown on the Twitter Papers. This NSA bullshit is also not acceptable
