I'd like to see a pushback on privacy intrusions and the dark user-interface patterns that trick people into allowing them.
I just installed Windows 10 for the first time, and the number of things I had to turn off just to get to a sub-totalitarian level of monitoring my activities was ridiculous. The kicker was that Windows Home edition doesn't have disk encryption, so anyone who steals my laptop can help themselves to my private information too.
This probably isn't solvable by technology in and of itself, but consumer education and consumer action against tech companies might make a dent.
