There’s no great solution. Even if you were temperamentally inclined to lobby the government for new laws regulating this, we can’t trust Congress to get it right, Big Tech will find loopholes (or write them into the laws in exchange for dropping their opposition to them), etc.
How many laws that significantly negatively affected Big Tech’s business practices have been enacted in the last 30 years? Any?
So maybe the way to go is to set personal no-tech or low-tech zones. No surveillance devices inside the house that routinely communicate outside the house. No surveillance devices inside the car that routinely communicate outside the car.
This doesn’t address the “social credit score” problem, but it’s a start.
