The problem is laziness. “Call your Congressperson” is hard. Waxing lyrical about political distinction is easy. Imagining technical solutions to political problems is easier.

I'd say that there are two related problems, one political and one technical, and that there is no reason not to address both issues.
* Political problem: It is legal and acceptable to track people on the internet to an extreme degree. Political solution: Call your Congressperson, donate to the EFF, reframe the issue as corporate stalking, etc.
* Technical problem: It is possible to track people on the internet to an extreme degree. Technical solution: Restrict ability to collect data by using adblock, poison existing databases with reasonable but false data.
