The internet has been dead for like 20 years dude. It's been over.
So let's just roll over and give up then? Is that what you're implying?

If nobody takes a stand against situations like this, it's only going to get worse.

Enact laws that require app makes not to be allowed to harvest so much data and/or hold onto it for more than 24 hours perhaps.

But don't just kick some massively successful company off of your country's internet because you're afraid.

The only way me as a regular person is able to 'take a stand' is to take my income and assets and move somewhere that I believe is more conductive to the way I want to live.

Maybe another open source library will fix it.
