That https was established as defacto-standard was a huge success and I don't think it will go away again. Freedom only works with some responsibility, but it seems to me that state level actors just try to keep up with the ad and tech industry in collecting data. The EFF tries to blame it on Barr, but I think the wish for control is bipartisan, especially since a generation is in charge that doesn't really understand the problems of this data collection. Not that their younger compatriots seem more promising in assessing actual problems. There might be a point where using a Asian or African social network would be preferable, but that is something not on the mind of common social media users. Sure, they do it if the product has appeal like TikTok. On bad days I wish users of social media (the self presenting kind) would be banned from all other sites.
