It's mobile phone manufacturers and OS developers that make devices that collect our data and grant access to that information to apps. The biggest point where data collection needs to be properly addressed is at this level. If there is no Lidar feature accessible in a phone, then TikTok can't get information on how many people are sitting in your living room with you. The problem is that people are not educating themselves, paying attention to proper technology issues, and taking the right actions because they're so busy trying to make personal profit... The "giant social media monopoly" ship is sinking fast, everyone is trying to loot the gold stored in the ship's hull, not realizing that that's exactly the extra weight that will also sink their escape boat.
