Probably the most interesting aspect (to me, YMMV) is the "obligations" extraction -- essentially pulling out who must/must not/may/etc. do what given a new regulatory action: https://frtracker.app/requirements
Absolutely, but that doesn't erase the fact that the government gathering the information directly is an escalation. They know they can subpoena it -- that presents a hurdle. They're opting to end around said hurdle.

The talking point that private industry is tracking you as well is tired, and ostensibly smart people should stop trotting it out. Meta and Apple can't arrest you or secret you away to a foreign country -- at least not yet. That makes the distinction a difference.
How would you substantiate this statement? He won with among the smallest popular vote % margins in history [0]. In fact he won by less than HRC beat him by in 2016. There is no strong mandate for this administration, regardless of how you slice it.
As above, it is common. See: property taxes and mark to market. It is perceived as being administratively infeasible because the folks who would be paying the biggest bills want you to believe that.
Sure, if you want me to. Unless you're implying that since the AP makes use of it in this way (and/or its in their Stylebook) there can be no valid contradictory position?
They didn't permit a singular use of "they" until like 2017. Sometimes they get stuff wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not targeting you on this, just an observation: we should be careful with the terms we use. I don't think "skeptic" or "skepticism" applies to anti-vaxxers.
