Agree. I'm not sure what the solution is. Educating the masses on privacy isn't an easy task. I still think bundling an alternative into a service that people *are* willing to pay for is a solution, but there aren't many companies that could do it.

I'm also unsure of the solution, because even services you pay for can still harvest this data, even sometimes unwittingly.
Indeed. Which is why I think it will require a company that is publicly adamant about privacy as a human right. That eliminates Google, Facebook, and likely Microsoft too. They need a consumer focused brand as well.
I think you see where I am going with this 😀
I know you well enough to know where this is going for sure.
I think you know what my counter would be.
Yup! I think the open web and web standards are the real answer. I just think that for it to really take hold, it will require at least one company to productize it.
Perhaps. Even the open web isn't a solution in some ways though. :/ Think of things like spokeo that just vacuum up public data. In some ways opsec is your only hope, but with things like the golden state killer DNA stuff, you'd have to have your relatives have good opsec too...
