I do agree that there is a US techlash brewing, but it'll likely end up focusing on some hi-vis, but relatively tangential issues such as political ads, Russian & Chinese bogeymen, facial recognition, etc.
Here's the crux of the problem:
There is one ray of light. Almost all your services remain wildly popular with consumers; they use your products to communicate, to navigate, to search for stuff, to buy things and to socialise.
...Americans will turn a blind eye to almost anything that is popular or convenient. We're really, really, REALLY good at denial if it's something we want. Governor Edwards of Louisiana said it best: "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy." And that applies to the big 3 right now in the US.

And there's the rub. I've said it before, the only hope we in the US have of meaningful regulation is in the EU parliament.
