>Congress REALY needs to pass strong privacy regulations.

They could do that. The first thing I'll expect them to do is exempt themselves, so that the government(s) can continue to work with these same companies to violate your privacy as they have been doing.

They can barely keep the government running. Don't hold your breath.

Do they know you care? Have you written to them? Called them? https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representati... https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_...

If somehow a dog dies because of FB or Android then… maybe.

In theory, yes.

The reality is they have no idea what this is all about.

If we want something done __and done right__ we're gonna have to figure it out on our own.

The last time I checked they passed a law allowing ISPs to sell browsing histories of their customers, so I wouldn't count on them.

Technical solutions > legal solutions. iOS doesn't have (as many) problems like this (speaking as an Android user)

It'd be better for everyone if they had unbiased experts lacking corporate ties draw up the regulations.

You are assuming that this is a bug, and not a feature from the Government's perspective.
