This is a great response and covers what I think the crux of the issue is. Technology has exacerbated a problem and, rather than simply bow to that, they tried to come up with a solution. Whether that solution addresses the negatives of the problem without introducing other, worse negatives is to be seen. On paper, it feels like they have addressed the problem in a reasonable way if you trust that they want to make money while absolving themselves of liability. They can’t violate users’ privacy if they don’t have the ability to do so.

they decided to spy on us
^there I fixed it for you.
Making me total dictator would be a 'solution' too
I mean something has to be done nothing else is working or could possibly work. Me for dictator- I promise to be benevolent, who can argue with that. At worst it is a thing reasonable ppl can disagree about. /s
