I don’t think I could fix it but I’d set it right then just let the mayhem sort itself out.
Mainly I’d just set it back to constitution pre amendment 16.
Bill of rights amendments for no education involvement laws. Another for no medical involvement laws including certifications etc. And another will have to be included for the modern technological age, probably something like all communication must be government grade encrypted or something. Basically an amendment to ensure non surveillance by ANYONE and protect free speech on the net.
To piggyback on your ideas, I like the idea of a type of Internet Bill of Rights. One that would classify personal information as owned by the individual.
For example, let's say you sign up for an email account. Every user would be given two choices, free in exchange for your personal data, or a paid fee.
Right now, people have no privacy rights unless you use encryption, and even then, most encryption software has backdoors of sorts. If you like free stuff in exchange for your data, great, but if not? What are you supposed to do?
I think that data-mining users should be fine, but only with their consent, and they should have options to buy out of whatever their data is worth.
This sets up an equivalent exchange. The more valuable your data, the more you can buy with it, or the more it would cost to protect it.
We definitely need to go back to basics on a lot of laws. Things have become overly bloated and need a robust pruning.
I think in the spirit and wisdom of the founding fathers. It’s best to go all in and simply make it impossible to obtain important pieces needed for tyranny.
One of these is reading electronically sent communications. It’s best just to make it illegal to even send them non encrypted.
