> Personally I don't care about corperations tracking me because I can generally stop the tracking
While I generally agree with your perspective here, it's worth noting [a] even if one eschews all services of tech giants, one is still tracked in practice through one's social network, such as through photo recognition or sending an email to gmail.com; and [b] the number of people who actually jump through the hoops required to live free of FAANG effectively rounds to zero.
The extreme imbalance of power between corp and netizen may not be as stark as between fed and citizen (the monopoly on force involves deleting accounts and predictive analytics rather than decades in a cage), but it should be concerning all the same.
