    My thought, you hit the nail on the head with the last comment. Lets crack down on companies that are collecting data and how they use it. Start with full transparency to the end user. But I guess to make any of this work you need to get the public to actually give a shit. Forcing these companies to disclose what they do with our data to a bunch of people who won’t even bother to look doesn’t do much I guess. It’s crazy to me how fast these companies literally brainwashed the public into just giving up all privacy for tiny morsels of convenience.
