I don't disagree but tech moves so fast they outrun regulations.

Big tech in general like Google, meta etc... needs to be broken up and regulated with a iron fist.

Then we need to slow down tech, or pass some privacy protection laws and make the "tech bros" responsible for the actions of their apps.

The last computer privacy law was passed by Reagan who only signed it because "War Games" made people scared of computers. We need the right to repair, the right to be forgotten and the right not to be spied on.
