#3 Just requires an act of Congress, your personal information belongs to you. Only the government can request the information. It can not be released to third parties regardless of consent forms for use other than positive identification of the individual, and then only the minimal amount necessary. All such collected date can not be transferred or transmitted by any non-governmental actor.

So simple, but watch how desperately those involved would obstruct that. Cause there is money and power to be made.

#5 Yes, every one of those AG's has a big $$$ settlement in their eyes. I remember reading a article in a tech publication in 2013 about Obama For America HQ having a "dark room" with private access located a floor below political operations staffed with predictive analytical tech kids and ran by one of the founders of FB. DNC was pissed off because they were not "shared" access to the data after Obama didn't need it anymore...or more realistically considered a monetized asset that could be purchases or horse traded for. Team Trump had to buy access to the FB data, whereas it was a "gift in kind" to OFA.

Hildebeast was given the same 'consideration' in 2016.
