    Any bill must also take into account the huge spy operations of the government internally. “Protecting privacy” sounds cool from Meta, but is useless unless it also covers the TSA, CBP, NSA, etc.

      No, it’s not useless. And you are comparing apples to oranges.

      Progress is progress. If we wait for a solution that fixes everything then we will never make progress.

      The all or nothing mentality people hide behind is just a cynical shield against dissapointment.

      So let’s pursue both. Yes, regulate the private sector. But make a separate bill that handles how our government can use data.

        Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
