What about the Euro model of localizing data, privacy laws, right to be forgotten, etc? It doesn't stop scrapers/data harvesters from accessing data, but it might slow it down a bit. Or does it really just keep upstarts from entering the infospace legally?
Otherwise, I'm also concerned. Cyber crime laws didn't protect us from state sponsored hacks like Sabre, Antheim, OPM, etc. Combined with real-time psychology profiles based on personality, addictions, ideology, available for sale at Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, very dangerous information about people is in the hands of the 'enemy'. The real problem is even understanding who the enemy is, or how they will decide to abuse this information.

I'm quite sure that state-sponsored online warfare, both psychological and through system intrusion, is very active, and we are losing because we don't even know where or what is happening.
