What is the libertarian solution to Larry Ellison Oracle AI Surveillance

Larry Ellison has indicated his private company Oracle will be working on an AI Surveillance system. Now as far as the efficiency of AI that is largely a separate topic but what is the libertarian solution to massive private company developing a Surveillance program.
I guess a larger question is what is the libertarian response to Larry Ellison. He owns large media enterprises like CBS News and has put in stooges like Bari Weiss to overlook and moderate their news department and it's kinda becoming a propaganda platform.
These aren't government entities these are private companies so what is the libertarian solution to this?

Gotta be honest, I'm a libertarian because I see government as the biggest threat to liberty, but if government is the only way to stop crap like this then so be it. Let government be the check on buisness just the way an armed populace is a check on government.

This is exactly the role government is suppose to fulfill. It’s there to make laws that protect the people not to govern the people.

In technology the buzzwords for libertarians in software is open-source. In hardware there isn't much you can do, I guess there's shit like the fairphone, but I don't know how much I believe in privacy on a hardware level. I mean most of us would never be able to tell if the microchips in our stuff already leave the factory compromised

You might have to become accustomed to the government wanting to track you. But not making it easy for them
Even when there are laws saying they "can't " they inevitably will.
You'll have to be intentional about what you're putting out there. Use a VPN, end-to-end encryption, cash or crypto if you don't want to be under the microscope. Social media is basically self-tracking.
I'm sure there's more.

It’s Oracle. Whatever they make will be outdated on release, buggy as fuck, and based on seven different versions of Java. This is spaceballs level evil empire.

Look into personal servers. Homelab. Docker/K8s. GitHub. Build decentralized network.

It really depends what “AI surveillance” meaning.
What I can say is that advocate for far more data transparency and use laws as well as more overall privacy for individuals.
The government should not be allowed to interface with technology that allows them to collect information on anyone living in America at scale
