Or the people elected by other humans could... IDK do their job of representing the people rather than a handful of corporations.

The problem is what I said in other comnents here. This is the fabel of sodom and gomorrah in action. We have no people with any moral compass in charge.

There is no incentive to represent the civically disengaged. Particularly on niche issues like privacy.

No system works if reliant on wishing up on a star that people were better. We have a lot of problems with our republic's design. None of them can address problems people don't care to involve themselves in respect of.
