Why disagree with this, it actually will cause innovation. How, if someone is able to figure out the way to navigate the laws easily, they will then sale their solution as a service. So when a FB, Goog or MS can figure it out, they will add it to their stuff. Also a group like EFF would make a tool to verify since it would mean that their existing tools would just be checking the server instead of each thing like Privacy Badger and their other apps do. It was really easy to innovate the car (look, I made this out of hard pointy steel, who cares if anyone else dies). Until you had to actually made them safe, do you think society would be better off going to the old methods? Innovation is for a purpose, a lot of the stuff we see now seems to be to innovate for the purpose of innovations sake and then sell it to someone who cares. Also do you really think people won't invest if their current methods don't work, so startup culture wouldn't die. Just system of having people who don't care about privacy not actually think things through ethically first.
