This is my approach. If sovereign governments don't want to regulate in my interests and protect me from surveillance capitalism, I'm simply going to take every route I can find to opt out of the whole enterprise. I already have started just turning off my phone for the majority of the day and opted out of all the major social networks. Hopefully a sufficient critical mass of people take this route such that it destroys enough economic value to push society in a better direction with meaningful trust and security guarantees, but in the meantime as long as the entire digital ecosystem is untrustworthy and actively antagonistic towards me, I'd rather just have nothing to do with it.
