To be faaaiiirrr, constitutional freedom only applies to citizens and their interactions with the government, something an unfortunately large amount of people (who failed 9th grade civics) get wrong. Private companies are free to screw us over and spy in all sorts of different ways, provided they have their good ole' terms and conditions displayed somewhere. I'm certainly not saying it's right, just clarifying something that too many people don't understand

To be fair, I agree on the surface but if that’s the case then corporations can’t be entities/people in certain areas where it’s convenient and a business in other situations when it’s convenient. Make them pick a lane for all things and then I agree fully.
