Yea unfortunately I have to agree with your second point. Maybe in Europe they will successfully regulate it since most of these companies are American, but I think the only way we could stop our data from being profited from is if we stopped centralizing the data and giving so much power to service providers. That’s why I like what Tim Berners Lee is doing with Solid, but I think the main point is we need to build some way for personal data to be distributed and encrypted so that it’s fundamentally very difficult to steal every customers data even if the system itself is broken. I dunno if it’s possible though since most tech companies make a significant portion of their money on their customers’ data.
