It isn't completely right either. Browsers, extensions and, only in some cases, VPNs can save you from being tracked by some. You are describing first party tracking but the point is mostly to prevent third party tracking. An adblocker and an email relay goes a long way.

I agree with the rest though. Regulation is the only way.

But how about second party tracking?

Okay, I can find my own way out.
