100% agreed - the issue is that people aren't giving _informed_ consent, I think it'd be great to have a law that basically says "the default has to be not tracking, and you can prompt and allow users to opt-in for targeted ads"

That... that is literally what GDPR is about: default is no tracking, no extra data collection. Users can opt in to data collection if they so wish.
