Are we going to see a backlash against the tech industry at the federal/national level? If so, when, and in what form?

Do you think California's new privacy laws will become a "least common denominator" forcing a change nationally? (i.e. companies will re-engineer for the most stringent states' laws)

Is it even possible to consider all the consequences ahead of time? Feels like so many social apps are dealing with fallout that was unanticipated at the beginning (but then was ignored too long once it became apparent).

Sure, it's easy to anticipate that live video would be ripe for abuse, but I don't think most people could have foreseen the way FB's newsfeed algorithm of showing posts that people like & interact with would lead to an information bubble and extreme polarization of viewpoints to the point that it subverts democracy. That's the far more insidious and subtle danger that I think is harder to predict.
