There is a massive difference. A proper analog is stating that "web requests you make will be logged". If you don't want to be recorded as having walked in, don't walk in.
To make this a fair comparison, the sign would say:
If you enter this building, you accept that you are being:
- filmed
- probed for all wifi and electrical emissions
- weighed
- measured
- secretively (as much as can be managed) pinned with tracking beacons
- lured into unknowingly entering other buildings w/o realizing it
- fingerprinted by any surfaces you touch
- associated with the means of transportation to arrive/depart
- and on and on and on
Since people can just wear masks, electro-blocking hazmat suits, high heels, a fresh change of cloths for every outing and come equipped with high-resolution GPS and building blueprints... it's a perfectly reasonable assumption.

What amazes me is how many people were worried about the distopian future of minority report [1] 20 years ago, yet (especially on HN) now it's here they welcome it. I guess Upton Sinclair was right: It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
