C and e don’t sound like bad things

At least not bad enough for the company not to do it

All of it is a reason for people to vote not to allow it. This can be accomplished federally or via initiatives in states. If a handful states comprising 30-50% of the pop wont allow it then it will be dead.

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!
