Institutions are becoming irrelevant due to the power of tech and this one of their reactions.
Irrelevant in some ways. We still need infrastructure and regulatory oversight bodies.
This kind of shit is what regulatory oversight bodies do. There are no people in government because they're trying to fix anything, they're just trying to control something.
I wish this were the case. But while they can't really control the software you run on your devices (yet) they control the infrastructure.
What's needed is a cultural sea change towards privacy and personal liberty and a dismantling of most of the security state. And I don't see that happening in our lifetimes. The attitude is very much "If it stops one single child being abused we will take everyone's right to privacy away!"
