No option for people outside those regions?

The current law in a few areas allows them to collect all your data, then offer you to opt-out. There's no requirement for them to not collect private data, and there's no requirement most places for them to offer you an opt-out.

My question is how do we get people to stop working for places like clearview and google and facebook that all work against the public good?

You're totally right. The sky-high salaries + options + bonuses make it a hard sell to get devs to follow their values in choosing employers. I just found it telling how grudgingly this complies with the law, but you could say privacy violation is their core service so obviously they need to protect that.
