Seems like forcing liability would be more successful

More successful or more beneficial?

Forcing the company to be liable for the data they collect would be more likely to stop them from doing it than trying to outlaw them collecting it

No it wouldn't because poor people can trivially be kept out of court all kinds of ways from binding arbitration to half assed enforcement. As a rule if you want someone to NOT do something you have to tell them they can't do it!

No it wouldn’t because elected officials don’t represent poor people

But we’re talking about buying new BMWs anyway. Your logic was just too stupid to not laugh at

The problem is there is no reason to suspect that a lucrative strategy doesn't spread to other manufacturers and indeed segments.
