This would likely just create a massive backlash. When you look at most of any survey on things like privacy [1] and other topics, people are not apathetic in the least. Most people know their data is being harvested, misused, and exploited. But because this all happens pretty much invisibly, people feel powerless. Trying to create very visible and ham-fisted laws forcing people to engage in behavior that most all of us are opposed to, beyond any typical partisanship, would be amazing in the unified backlash it would create. I also don't even really think this would fly in DC. Advertisers are certainly indulged because they provide an endless mountain of surveillance information to spook organizations, and can also be used to try to influence elections. But most politicians are people too, and with acts like this you'd be passing laws to piss on yourself, your family, and your friends as much as the rest of society.... for the sake of advertisers. I think that would face substantial opposition from DC itself, let alone the small but growing chunk of libertarian or social minded politicians. This isn't like the MPAA or whatever, where your average politicians might think you're talking about rafting if you speak about torrenting.
