I agree with the activist spirit! But you have to realize that the incentives of legislators are to first create a strong economy and to maintain the dominance of the US tech sector. If you come to them with a plan that will seriously harm their operations then you won’t even get a meeting.

I'm dreaming here, no regulation will take place.

You need to self regulate though and assume all data you give these companies will be sold. At this point unless it's ride sharing , apps don't get my location. If they means I can't use the apps, that's fine.

It wouldn't be the worst thing if tommorow Social Media was effectively banned. It's done enough wrong in the world

If you start making everyone suspicious of doing business with US, that dominance will slow fade away as each market tries their home grown alternatives.

Yes they will suck during the first years, get barely enough customers to survive, but eventually they will get there with enough perseverance.

The current administration is only making everyone aware that the globalisation days are over.

This requires long term thinking.

Neither the companies (Q-on-Q) nor the politicians (4-6 years ) have long term incentive to do lasting change by pushing unpopular policies.
