Dense US citizen here. Eli5 how I should explain "just trust us not to abuse collection of all your data or else get locked out of the world wide web" applies to antitrust laws for the FTC?

I'm genuinely wanting to submit an email complaint/report. I understand that WEI protects nothing, but risks your data with all the sites you visit, all in an effort just to block possibly unprofitable users -- but I'm not sure how to tie in and word the Breaks Antitrust Laws part.

Thank for your time to post these links.

Nothing dense in this, I don't quite know what to write either. In my opinion what you wrote in your comment is just perfect, you're a citizen simply expressing an honest concern, without lying – not all people are tech-savvy. It also makes it clear that it's a letter from a real person.

But that's only my point of view, and maybe I haven't thought enough steps ahead. Let's see what other people suggest and why.

Another dense citizen here. I ould say that you put it quite eloquently in your comment.

But direct the question towards them.

"Would googles new changes on their ad and user policy be affected by FTC data protection laws and GDPR or would they be in compliance"

Or something among those lines.
