@paultk Agreed on all. Given your last point, strong regulation is increasingly less likely, I also suggest that those of us that can help should be actively doing so.

Start a local/community working group to offer help. We can get together and talk through solutions, help others plan and implement those. We can take direct action via local mutual aid groups of all kinds. Helping folks with data/privacy/computing is one of many. This is something I've been doing via my local library.
