Both. But ultimately it's the government trying to circumvent our constitutional rights by having a private organization holding the data.

Corporations are the government

Only one way to find out for sure!

Only a broken one. That's just how he rolls 🤷🏻

You misunderstand the intention. The request is for people to say:

thank you, gary

So it actually is correct.

Oh, and if you want to tell Gary to say "thank you", you could write:

Say "thank you", Gary

The comma is in the right place.

No. The comma is correct as is. The quotes surround what should be said to Gary. The comma after Gary is correct. However, there should be a comma after "say", I should read

 Say, "Thank you, Gary."
