Next make it a law that companies must inform you when they sell your info.
Every sale to every individual buyer requires separate handwritten notice, each individually attached to a copy of the privacy policy and the data sold, notarized and sent by certified mail in triplicate, with postage paid by the sender. Make it cost so much that the entire industry becomes obsolete.
I hate this as much as you do, but this would kill the major 'free' internet services. You'd likely see almost everything go to a pay to use service.
I'm not going to argue whether that's actually a good result or not, but I would be sad to lose 'free' YouTube.
