Basically, our "privacy" is still in the hands of huge corporations (and,
to a much smaller extent, the government).

It may be difficult for Americans to be given the option to purge all of
our information at this point.  At least Europe has had the foresight to
implement the GDPR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation ).
Not sure the big tech, ad, and data companies would let this fly at this
point.
