You gravely misunderstood the point of the analogy. The issue at hand isn't regulation, because nothing is being regulated, so there's no slippery slope. What cookie warnings and cancer warnings have in common is that they make transparent, to you the consumer, what a company or product is doing to you. You can still do it and opt into everything. It's no more regulatory than a nutritional table on a package of food. People sometimes then have the weird reflex to blame regulators for making explicit what garbage they're being fed, when you should take it up with the company who is actually responsible for vacuuming up your data.
