I’m sure it’s part of it but can’t be the entire reason. I’m pretty sure someone in position of power is aware of all of these issues.

Yes, but Bob will vote for them whether or not they outlaw facial recognition on a FedEx truck. Bob will vote for them because he likes abortion, or hates gambling, or whatever. Bob isn't angry about telematics in his car. Nobody told him to care about that. Always Bob.
Still doesn’t explain away any values already possessed by the elected person.
That's true. I want to believe SOMEBODY in gov will fight for my right to privacy. I don't think they have any integrity left, though. I think getting to that position breaks them, assuming they were good people in the first place. Don't forget that Bob is in politics, also.
Maybe it's just statistics. I've never met a person in real life who really gets fired up about this stuff. They'd have to exist AND be informed AND reach a position of political power AND have a couple hundred peers who did the same thing. No chance.
I guess I better research what passing legislation entails. That’s more likely to give me some concrete answers. I refuse to believe every elected person is “broken”.
Just find a local representative, schedule a meeting, tell them how important this is, and get them to commit to outlawing these invasive practices. Start small, somebody at the community level. Let me know how that goes.
For bonus points, find any random person on the street and convince them to pay for a Proton subscription. If they do it, tell them to run for political office. 😂
I promise I'm not trying to be a doomer, it's just a dark reality. On the bright side, we CAN de-Bob them sometimes and shift the odds a little.
In well aware that people generally don’t care, too busy or feel powerless when it comes to influencing legislative outcomes. This is precisely my point earlier that the rules are not in our favor and I’d rather not play by the rules.
Well if we're cheating, then we give a GrapheneOS phone loaded with Tor, VPN, eSIM, SimpleX, Amethyst, etc. to the most corrupt piece of crap we can find. They'll tell all their crooked friends how great it is to not get caught being crooked and it'll spread like wildfire. 😂
