Well yeah, I agree but even in the most locked down system people will still (involuntarily) find ways to get screwed or otherwise not be able to discern what's good and what's bad for them. It sounds a bit nuts and I'm being slightly hyperbolic on purpose but I think the way to go is to slow digitalization in the public (i.e. our everyday lives) down a bit and properly educate at least decision makers, children (or young adults) and teachers about how this sorta stuff really works and how their rights are being undermined in the digital world. Alas, the pandemic has been a big blow to that as well.
