"Afraid of your neighbor's dog? Never leave your room, add a harness to your bed and strap in, wear plate armor at all times".

Not exactly practical.

There are ways to improve security without immobilizing yourself.

Blocking the widespread distribution and use of an app that sends personal and national data to a hostile government actively collecting and using that data to conduct digital and electoral attacks is not immobilizing, it's a simple step with zero downside that safeguards hundreds of millions of people.
