Here is the real source: https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Attacks%20on%20Tax%20Privacy_Final.pdf. Ironically, it's not even a searchable PDF (what a fucking assholes(!)).

Sounds to me like H&R Block has a problem, not Google/Meta. However, if there was an actual business relationship where money was exchanged from Google/Meta to H&R Block, then they are all fucked.

If Google/Meta actually looked at the data, they are also fucked.

If Google/Meta does in fact have columns like "tax_bracket" in their systems, they are so fucked.

I think the regulations for such systems are completely behind the times globally. I think the reason for that is that the regulators are comparatively complete idiots.
