That battle has already been lost; between a complete lack of at least semi-anonymous banking (I.E. GNU's Teller, well see notes), ad behamoths, "credit" companies (Experian, etc), and all sorts of proprietary social platforms having a majority of the market roped in: there's a shadow profile in one sense or another for everyone short of the crazy cabin in the wilderness types. A focus on consumer rights, protections, and building difficult to defraud and difficult to exploit consumers systems is where effort needs to be spent. * GNU Taler - A digital cash / micro-transaction system that hopes to be audit-able for tax and other legal reasons while still being anonymous for consumers.
