It is inevitable that the internet as a whole will fall into place with standard social norms that have evolved over a long period of time. The ultimate aim is the melding of social norms that will be an extension of the globalisation push. Many people still think they are invisible on the internet and rant on inappropriately. Down at the local these people get slapped down quickly but on social media they have no such controls to check them. The main problem being many people seems to be sponges and take to the rants without question which fuels the fires that do untold damage to honest people and governments etc.
As for user data requests what's new. That has been a corner stone of govt services for yonks, just a different format now.
