Heck, most people in government simply don’t even understand the issue, let alone figuring out how to solve it. AFAIK only one US 2020 presidential candidate atm is even talking about data rights.

This is a good argument for term limits. The old timer's holding on to their power is not doing anyone any good.

  There are arguments for term limits, but this isn't one of them. No person can be an expert in everything the government can potentially regulate.

  Term limits don't seem to stop old timers from getting elected though, they just mean a variety of old timers get elected. (Not that there aren't other good reasons to prefer a variety of politicians getting elected over a single one)

> AFAIK only one US 2020 presidential candidate atm is even talking about data rights. Are you talking Yang [0]? I think he's taking it most seriously but even as a Yang Ganger I do see other politicians talking about it, but I would say that they aren't taking it seriously [1]. I can't find anything about data privacy rights on Warren's, Sanders's, or Biden's issue pages. I did find mentions on Buttigieg's[2], Klobuchar's[3], and Gabbard's[4] (which is more anti-NSA than anything else). But yeah, I would say that Yang is the only one that I'm aware of that is making a very clear statement on this issue (since he ties it to his UBI issue).
