I wonder if there suddenly would exist a bunch of google analytic competitor if google could no longer offer analytics as "free" by monetizing user data. Google analytic is a prime example of why we need data protection. The web developer who uses it are not the one paying for it, and they might not even know that google are tracking users for monetizing purposes. It create a market with broken incentives and information asymmetry, with the buyer having relative no power. Requiring every webmaster to ask every visitor if they don't mind Google Analytics is annoying, but fixing that market is a difficult job. Maybe the solution is more targeted regulation specific to website analytic software.
