    Honestly, number 3 is the only thing that would have marginal impact. Consumers don’t have the time and energy to research every product to the depth required foe the first two.

      You don’t need to go on a research project to see the personal info fields in a sign-up form.

      For more complicated stuff, a labeling program would help.

          1a. Exercise your right to return things that have invasive hidden requirements.

          (And this is another area where a labeling program would help.)
