We should be able to start with a clean slate - these companies should delete all user data that wasn't explicitly given by the user in a clear and obvious way (like profile credentials) and start from scratch. Every time any information is collected, the company should obtain consent after displaying the data to the user. A person should be able to inspect all data that had been associated with them, and to delete any or all of the data at any time. Within the personal profile, a the user should be given the option to opt-in to any and all uses of their data, with zero third party sharing unless allowed by the user on a byte-by-byte basis.
If a company violates this a progressive and percentage based fine should be imposed for every day of non-compliance. Something like .01% of the company's net worth per day, increasing to 2% over the course of 30 days, half of which goes to federal enforcement and half to the user. Something painful and crippling, with teeth, and enough to incentivize people to watch out for themselves and to force companies to behave well.
Data beaches should be lethal if data was leaked that wasn't obtained with consent.
Faang is not entitled to surveil the lives of everyone in the world by dint of people merely visiting websites.
Participation in a relationship with a person or business or community should be consensual.
