All trackers etc on websites to be off by default, with a single request to turn them on permitted, with “No!” as a big green button and “yes” as a small grey one.

DNA is one that concerns me quite a lot. I can see some arguments in favour or retaining DNA on file for a longer term in certain cases - persistent sex criminals comes to mind - but I really think there should be tighter controls about just indiscriminately gathering DNA, and if you’re not found guilty of anything that info should be expunged and this should be independently audited IMO.

Also facial recognition for similar reasons. This feels like it should be the sort of thing to me that needs a warrant to be used, like searching a person’s home. Governments shouldn’t be allowed to just endlessly trawl through the faces of everybody who’s out in public for whatever reason they like. And using it to just sweep protests to (presumably) make a database of protestors should be a big no-no.

I want a law banning political parties from collecting data on citizens. In Canada, the parties gave themselves a way to get around our privacy laws.

Simple, we treat “corporate crimes” the same we would if a 30+ year old man committed them to a 18 year old girl, because that’s what’s happening. Once you’re 18 the “child data protections” go away.

They essentially planted bugs in every 18 year old girl’s life and if your phrase it that way, the masses will realize how horrifying it is.

Google shouldn’t have our entire location history, that’s called stalking.

Google shouldn’t have an entire log of our private messages, that’s called eavesdropping.

Microsoft shouldn’t be taking screen shots of our screen, that’s called spying.

Amazon shouldn’t be using security cams to scan us for “AI” purposes.

Apple shouldn’t be using our phone microphones for “data collection”.

Facebook shouldn’t be compiling, scanning and indexing our photos.

Enforcing GDPR fines would be a great start, only adding more if need be.

I feel like we could are more laws but if they are not enforced it’s pointless, maybe even worst but it gives the illusion of privacy while in reality nothing changes.

Federal law that bans the gov from skirting 4th amendment rights by buying data from third parties or data sharing agreements with foreign nations.

Yo I just wish you could opt out of government ownership

Something like the Massachusetts MDPA that’s going thru their legislature now seems pretty robust especially for U.S. standards. Would be great to have a federal law, tho obviously since the US congress is 100% compromised this is basically the best we can hope for.
