TurboTax owned buy intuit, part of H&R block who has partnered with credit karma. Everything is a monopoly now

I'm pretty sure intuit and h&r block are competitors, not the same compamy.

You are correct.

Here's an annoying thing i just learned about H&R Block:

As of 2022, H&R Block's tax preparation service shares user data with Facebook, which can be used for targeted advertising. This can include sensitive financial information from health savings accounts and college expenses, and this tax data is shared without consent even for users who opt out of the service.

Do you have a source we can reference for that particular bit of shitbaggery?

Edit: congressional report on the shit bags in question:
