A bold position to take for representatives of a government that maintains multiple databases of fingerprint scans for foreign nationals and their own citizens…

A big difference between a representative democratic government and a private company, I'd say.
Yes, definitely. The government can put you in jail or shoot you, while Facebook can sell your data to advertisers.

From this simplistic framework I wouldn’t say there is a big difference. About the only thing I can think of is scale, and optimization for human wellbeing instead of profit, but that hardly feels true in the modern world.

It would be better if neither collected the data, but second best is that Facebook doesn't.
The article is about AMZN collecting palm prints of people that opt in to a specific program that has alternatives.
The US gov doesn’t have alternatives. When they ask for your biometric data you give it, or else they deny your clearance/ background check/entry to the country.

Are you saying you don't think they have any power?
Over my life? I don't know what sort of power they have over my life no.
Facebook manipulates people you know (unless none of them use Facebook). Social media has dramatically changed some people I know well.
Facebook has enormous influence in the society you live in (perhaps depending on where you live), which affects you. Facebook has great power over the news people read, and Facebook is where many conspiracy theories spread, as examples.
