This is why tracking is a problem that can only be solved at the legal level. Ultimately there's no reliable way for a machine to detect tracking given that any information collected for tracking can also be used for legitimate purposes.

Just like App Store review, it can only be mitigated at the legal level. Companies will skirt the law if there is little risk of them being caught and, like you said, there will never be a robust way of automatically detecting violations.
