I have always wondered if political solutions are really viable when the free market doesn't care.

We didn't have to buy into these products or allow them to take over or lives if we has an issue with ad companies running them. We could simply not use them, accepting the negative impact that will have on parts of our current life. If the majority of our people don't care and have chosen the convenience, and the dopamine hit of, the digital products should politicians really step in though?

If politicians in a representative democracy are meant to represent the people then it really isn't their job to fix this, the people have already spoken. I don't agree with it and do my best to limit my use of these ad companies, but that doesn't mean it's my responsibility to rip these products of everyone else's hands of they chose their own tradeoffs. If Google wants to do this and people really care, they'll just stop using Google and accept that they won't have access to any services that decide to require this kind of DRM-like verification.
