Work with your state government to outlaw even consensual tracking, include fines, and make fines also apply to the development staff.
The first a step is a "know your developer" act to prevent software creation being anonymous. We have regulation around who can practice medicine, practice law, provide the same regulations to software. Remove the license for developers, business analysts, tech writers and project managers who write code to support tracking. It is easy to write evil code when your are protected by behemoth corporations and their lawyers.

Your proposed law sounds more draconian and dangerous to free thought than the thing it’s supposed to prevent, and can be abused to have the opposite effect of what your intentions are. We need more general technical literacy, not further increasing the gap between those who have and know between those who don’t. Regulation around tracking, fine, but the consequences seem to far outweigh any benefits with the rest of your proposal.
