I know this is well–meaning but I think it's ultimately misguided. The root issue isn't that people aren't getting paid for their data — it's that their data is commodified in the first place.

Forcing payment for the data will make some of these business model not work, and I'm all for that. It's not about users receiving a few dollars, it's companies having to pay all them.

There is an easy solution to these problems, just flood the social networks with more and more garbage until they become unusable we're making strides to that anyway
