We can't rely on Congress, or any other regulatory entity to protect us from that which enters or exits from our doorways to the internet. We, the users, MUST assume our own measures. We need to use our own tools and personal policies to police our own connections. Then and only then will we be in control. Collectively, maybe utilizing a blacklist server, we can boycott the applications that contain the hidden payload. Any student of economics knows that when customers or revenue drops, the affected product "magically" changes. Simply said, money talks folks. Don't support the idiotic policies.
