One thing I would like to do is have various US Senators send letters to the major corporations, and perhaps even large open source groups (like npm), and ask them, proactively, what they are doing to secure citizens around the world's data.
There is something called the Cybersecurity Bipartisan Caucus in the US Senate.
I have found calling these senators (which I have never done before for any politician about anything) extraordinarily helpful and gratifying. I have even explained that I don't live in their state, and yet they still listen and clearly need the advice from good security/sysadmin people (like asking them why Facebook still doesn't have a CSP Security Header).
It was only 6 days ago that the "International Committee on Privacy", made up of Senators from countries around the globe, met in London to question Richard Allan, VP of Privacy at Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg rejected the request for his attendance.
