Instead of making something illegal, that might be perfectly acceptable for someone else, why don’t take a personal decision to stop using those services altogether?
It’s very tempting to impose our own personal truths to everybody else’s via politics, but that’s a quite close approach to totalitarianism.

"Regulation is totalitarianism" is a take that's too hot for me today.

Because there is no competition in the marketplace based on privacy, and if I want to use the services my friends/family/employer use, then I'm forced to give up my privacy. The free market has never and will never solve a problem like this. The only thing that ever has is regulation and this is a textbook case of what regulation is for.
