Man, that would be great. I'll bet it'd be doable for anyone whose name is tied to public records via home ownership too

Scale up what they did to Trump for this NY Times piece: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/20/opinion/locat...

See if people keep clicking "Allow" on their phone games after that goes out..

Of course, what'd actually happen is everyone would just attack the messenger. Maybe there'd be some super half-assed knee-jerk law thrown into place

If I ever get terminal cancer I'll see if I can throw something together before I kick the bucket, haha.

I think carefully designing the campaign from the start to avoid a PR backlash would be really important. Doable, too.
