> Have you considered that it isn't being solved because consumers don't actually mind the extra tracking? This is an interesting hypothesis, but there's no evidence for it. Here's how we can test it: enact regulation requiring companies to disclose what personal information they collect, how they use it, and what third parties they disclose it to, and put that information in an equally prominent place as the price (e.g. "$10/month plus we collect your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address and sell it to 16 third-parties[link to list] for advertising purposes). Then we'll see how many people are willing to pay for services with their data.
