Since your user name suggests you might be a coder, maybe you and those employed in similar occupations could work on tools that prevent this level of monitoring while still providing data that allows researchers to understand and mitigate problems before they become insurmountable. There is another post on a similar subject dealing with bottom trawlers off the coast of Alaska where fisheries are in collapse. These are all solvable problems. The real monitoring issue is less from governments, it is more a corporate issue where users are required to give up details of their private lives in order to use a service. Perhaps stop providing those types of tools since that data can inevitably leak to governments if an individual becomes a target of surveillance or to bad actors trying to extort or to steal identities.
