I feel this will become an exercise in box checking "compliance" just like HIPAA.

Sure, your medical records are encrypted on disk (but I have the key in plaintext right next them).

Sure, there's an opt-out on our site. Good luck remembering to click the opt-out button in the corner every time you visit.

Trusted execution environments enable the kind of automation that addresses these complaints.

A government opt-out defaults database would partly address the 2nd objection. (Only partly)
