We need data collection laws similar to HIPAA breaches that render data collection akin to storing nuclear waste. I'd like to see this apply to aggregate data mining too, so we can get rid of things like the Topics API.

HIPAA allows your medical information to be widely shared without your consent. It just requires the many holders of the data to implement some security controls.

The information is out there, it's stupid easy to correlate and collate it. It's even easier to use that to do something profitable.
Getting rid of data brokers, making them not exist just makes a gray market for the information, one that is just as lucrative and is going to be untaxed and unregulated.
