We need strong consumer protection laws and a body that can issue large fines in response to violations. The stick is the only thing that's going to cause change. It is not acceptable, for example, that Google is allowed to ruin someone's life by associating their photo with a convicted rapist for weeks, and then not have a human that that person can talk to to address the issue. Such things should be punished with a large fine.
