Personal opinion we need to tweak business incorporation rules to firewall ad business from all other types of businesses. Meaning General Motors can't sell ads. And ad companies can't sell cars.
And as someone on this site suggested extend antitrust dumping laws to services.
and/or make it illegal to gather consumer information without explicit, periodic consent. Make it doubly-illegal to sell data or rent it. (If "rent" doesn't cover it, also outlaw whatever thing google claims it does when it monetizes user profiles for ads.)
Yeah as in if data broker is your business it's your only business with very specific rules about what the data can be used for.
