    No, you can address this through laws and legislation. You literally just ban people from amassing personal information on other people like Europe is doing.

      Banning things doesnt stop people from doing those things. You dont stop locking your bike/car just because theft is illegal. Other countries governments could still use it, criminals could use it, your own countries agencies could use it because they might be exempt from certain laws.

      Yes it should be outlawed but thqts only half the solution.

        True, but corporations are the most clear and immediate threat and making it sufficiently (!) expensive for them does discourage bad behaviour.
