But, and I may be misunderstanding something, the page that I visit has the responsibility of serving these trackers? They call out to an adbroker, or analytics service, and they are responsible for the content surely? I mean if a newspaper prints a race hate ad for a neoNazi or FOX News runs porn adverts, they are the responsible party.
So it seems we could do with strong adblocking, but more useful (given spam email still exists) more useful will be actual enforced laws.
My government doesn't even begin to know how to deal with internet laws, the only thing I've seen come down the pipe are laws designed to protect square peg business practices in round hole environments.
The only thing that can be done is to make privacy and ad blocking tools universally deployed, and let the fallout happen.
