How could this be combatted? I assume just through legislation and possibly some type of random audit or bounty system to catch violators?

Or could it be beaten by high privacy browsers like Brave and a system of shuffling through and sharing random anonymous online identities with strangers like Tor does with IP?

Just to confuse the hell out of the ad platforms…

What would the legislation even be though?

https://adnauseam.io/ is meant to screw with data collection, albeit only at a personal level; one could imagine more sophisticated tools that did things like randomly run Google searches for arbitrary topics to confuse things further, but I'm not aware of any implementations
