The problem is that you can't regulate something that is doing exactly what black-budget govern-cement set them up to do.
The other problem is that people never think that it can happen to them. Their life is mundane, no one is out to get them, you couldn't even make a good porno from all the sex they had last year, combined. They think they have nothing to lose.
Today, many men are finding out that their lives can be destroyed with one phone call. Their current girlfriend gets upset and calls the police telling them that he raped her. (lying) The police are sent out and the guy is arrested. (this is by the book in places like Kalifornia, it could be that the police know 100% that he is innocent.)
What most people don't realize is that all the damage to this guy is already done. He can never work for a bank again. He will find it almost impossible to get a corporate job. And at every interview he will have to answer this question, "What were you arrested for?" If you answer "rape", then you just failed the interview, if you answer anything else, you are lying and have failed the interview.
And this is a typical #MeToo event.
Imagine if the govern-cement really wanted to put the screws to you?
Fortunately, from this overreach comes a great technology that will basically put spying out of business.
