God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

    For now... But they are pushing laws that require the infrastructure for data harvesting be built into the OS level and then broadcast the data to any program that asks for it without question...
