You're putting words in my mouth. Don't.

The government has the kind of power needed to rein in all of these privacy issues by regulating big tech. It will be difficult, but more difficult things have been achieved in our lifetime. Join the EFF. Contact your congress people.

What I'm actually saying is the anti-DC people are trying to solve a societal level problem only peripherally related to the thing they are trying to ban at a local level. That seems a lot harder than getting congress to care about privacy issues.

Isnt comgress partizan locked and powerless? All power is in president.
Even so! That problem is more solvable than expecting to fight the surveillance state by shutting down data center buildouts.

It is worth noting that the president is deathly afraid of the problem of him having all the power getting solved this midterm.
