I mean, there are definitely people in the government working on it, but those often require much more substantial reforms and systemic changes before the changes could functionally work. (i.e. banning data brokers would kill off most free services, or banning targeted ads would kill most ad-funded news networks)
If you haven’t already, I recommend using the EFF’s Action Center to let your representatives know about specific changes you would and would not want made to our laws to protect privacy, free speech, and digital innovation, according to what they’ve found to be the most pressing issues at the moment.
My understanding is that Net Neutrality is not the same as privacy. The first is concerned with providers not discriminating against the data being sent/received. The second is about tracking all the data that is being sent/received (and more).
That’s all well and good, but where are our internet privacy rules?

Uhhhhhh…nonexistant. Fuck you peasant!
I mean, I kid, but that’s essentially big tech’s stance on the issue.
