To me the real crux of the matter is how to turn that caring into any sort of feeling of having choices.
A good start would be actually having a choice. In several markets that are effectively essential products for a lot of people to live a normal life today - including transportation - that choice no longer exists in practice because the whole industry is on board with doing this stuff.
Every time these subjects come up someone says this should make us angry and we should push our political representatives to legislate or regulate in response to these threats. And then someone else reminds us that it's 2023 and most people have slightly higher priorities like being able to afford to keep their homes and feed their kids so even if issues like privacy matter to them a great deal they will rarely swing enough votes to carry any real weight politically. Unfortunately these problems demonstrate a failure of both our commercial and economic systems and our political and democratic ones.
