I think there's a huge assumption implied in an analogy between airbags and user tracking. Airbags save lives. Anti-tracking guards against some hand-wavey philosophical concerns regarding privacy (in an inconsistent fashion, even... It's hard for me to buy that we need to make user-behavior tracking for ad targeting illegal in a world where user-purchase tracking for credit reporting is legal).

My point is that an average consumer does not and should not need to understand some complex embedded technology in the products they buy and use, and that their lack of interest and understanding of such technologies can’t be used to infer their intent on a broader subject (privacy,safety,health, etc)
