I am of the opinion that user tracking should be illegal unless the user opts-in to it. And sites should not be able to require an opt-in in order to provide a service or site.



No doubt this sense of entitlement to the service of others is due to some sort of social contract the site operators implicitly agreed to by breathing oxygen, right?


No, there is no entitlement, I just don't believe that using a site entitles that site's owner to track you all over the Internet. And if you can't see why it's wrong, you're hopeless.
