Companies have to operate within the parameters of the law.
I don't get this. Are people expecting companies to break the law? Is this data hand-off voluntary?

This does not seem to apply in the context where companies are lobbying for / supporting new laws.
Even if there was a contract involved, clauses of the contract can be judged to be unconscionable if they are obviously trying to take advantage of the other party in an unusual or misleading way, or if they try to extend the scope of the contract.
Tell that to Uber. Or AirBnB. Both of which violate the law, working to overturn the laws, or entice their users to ignore legally binding obligations. These are flagrant disregards for the legal ramifications.
And they aren't he only two. There are many companies out there who break the law. See Volkswagen and the emissions debacle they find themselves in.
History is rife with companies breaking the law. Just look at Apple. Microsoft. Google. All these companies have broken the law. And in each case, they've fought against what they think is wrong.
Do companies have to operate within the parameters of the law?
No.
That's an interesting assertion. Do you live in the same reality as the rest of us?
