#3 sounds like a cool idea, I think knowing how your data is being used is important and allows users to make more informed decisions about how they give their data away.

I think #2 is over-regulation, given #3 users can decide if they want to support the product or not by using it.

Also, if you deactivate your account companies should no longer be able to use your data.

I think we are currently beyond the point where most people actually can choose whether or not to use some services. So I think it would be appropriate to have the option to pay for these services while keeping the privacy.
