Nanny states are never a good idea. But lets say we prefer nanny state and lets say it works with FB. There is no guarantee that it will always work with every other shitty FB, or if it works, it might become China like, which is worse. The best long term solution is to educate people - make them understand how much of their privacy is being violated, how much harm social media is causing (broadly speaking here, I know social media can be good too, once in a while) etc. If the general public understands these, they might stop/reduce willingly giving so much of their data to FB. That said, not many people seemed to care (outside of tech circles) when Snowden happened :(
