You've touched on some good points. It makes me wonder: what kind of objection can one raise that would actually make a difference? Send a mean tweet? Call my senator? And tell them to do what?

IMO simple objections will not sway tech platforms from the status quo of free-for-all data hoarding. We must vote with our feet and move away from the data-hoarding incumbents towards user-centric alternatives. Where suitable alternatives don't exist, we'll need to create them.
