On: US Military disables ad trackers on troops' phones

This is basically impossible to do on a global scale. And even within a jurisdiction, there is a great risk of overregulation, see e.g. Europe.

Is it though? Brussels effect and USB adoption tells me it is possible to affect global outcomes even in hard things like hardware if a heavyweight decides to put their finger on the scale

This precisely points to my overregulation point. The E.U. shouldn't be telling private companies how to design their products.
