There's a both sidesism here - one party that's demanding censorship (because misinformation, danger, etc.) when they used to fight it, the other party seemingly defenders of classic big corporate entities, yes it does seem hopeless.
I think it has to get worse before it gets better. If almost everyone's personal information, SS and so forth, even IMEI's, addresses, mother's maiden, you name it, is available on the dark web, then that'll basically mean the corporate world will have to create a new mechanism. For example, the most obvious is the entire system in which credit worthiness is determined.
I know two people with identity theft issues, and in both cases people opened up accounts that impacted credit worthiness. That's really lousy if you spend a long time searching for a home to buy, and when you're in contract something like this happens and your credit gets dinged. Blame the banks and the credit industry as much as the hackers. They made this impossible-to-contain information literally the key determinant of your ability to get a loan in order to purchase a home.
