Great question!

A National internet ID of course!

it might be called a Crypto-quantum-cyber-safety-passcode and you'll need to use it in any site that collects and stores data about you. It will be for your safety!

Speaking of...

Has it ever been explored to pen a modern day update similar to , or to  the constitution (amendment)?

(It would add new things) which could  prevent future stupid laws and the encroachment of individual privacy and how other entities can collect, store, use and sell one's data and metadata they create. It would also avoid wasting of resources..


I'm sure there are other modern things today that the founding fathers could never  have imagined at the time  - but you better believe they would have included if they had the slightest idea!

The tough part is that it would need to be well thought out and reasonable (and practical) 


Otherwise, it will always be a knee jerk defensive reaction to all this nonsense all the time. It's exhausting and a waste of $
