We blindly trust corporations such as Google or Facebook, and then ask our government for “protection”. Is that really the right action, or more more user involvement. Ask yourself this: When is the last time you read the terms of service for a “free” service you signed up, or even checked www.tosdr.org for a human readable summary of the ToS. We think to ourself “oh, a free website offering a service worth tens of dollars, there's nothing suspicious there.” And when it turns out our poor judgement was wrong, we go crying to our governments for more privacy protection, regulations and so on. I could point to thousands of examples how government regulations hurts and directly kills competition. Look at GDPR and the way Facebook operated before and after it in Europe. Not a lot has changed. Then look at a lot of smaller EU-based social media sites. A lot of them, including the Czech classmate network spoluzaci.cz, went bankrupt. So the question is not whether we should regulate Facebook and Google or not, the question is if we should use them or not.
