We still can. We actually did and it is marked for further investigation.

Sure but it is not always practical, e.g. in a work scenario in which you
collaborate with people who send you links to Instagram or give you download
links to WeTransfer and similar (pages where you need to enable crapware).
When these people are your clients you can't simply cut them off because your
survival depends on your income. That's why I say on multiple occasions that
securing one's own little corner of the world is a petty little affair. This
btw is another example of isolation.

Well, I may be cursed here for that but considering the irrational and biased
talks and the reactions of the listeners (here too) I am more inclined to
think it is superficiality and incompetence mixed with irresponsibility.

entails radical measures to be taken.
What measures? What is there to wait for? Still not enough data collection?
Or an excellent "privacy" policy? Why should we wait for a disaster to strike
instead of stopping it right when it is noticed? Again - another
irresponsibility. When one proclaims oneself as a defender of freedom and
ethics and disregards or stays silent about blatant abuse of human beings
this hypocrisy.
