I missed this comprehensive investigation by @kfranasz from Oct 2020 that found that 502 out of 537 websites by US senators and congressional reps (.house.gov/.senate.gov) transmitted personal data on visitors to Google, 309 to Facebook, 69 to Oracle. Bad.

Actually, no website should send behavioral data to Google, FB or other surveillance marketing companies, including sites by parties and politicians.
Apart from that, formal .gov sites should really not share data with any company that exploits it for commercial purposes at all.

This is even more true for sites by public authorities.
Like the US Customs and Border Protection website that just sent personal data on my visit to FB, Google, Microsoft, The Trade Desk, mdhv.io (?) and other parties during my visit as observed in my browser.

When I visit esta.cbp.dhs.gov to submit an application for an ESTA travel visa, this is being tracked by Google Analytics and Google's pervasive risk surveillance service reCaptcha. From my non-US perspective, this makes Google a mandatory US government service.
