First of all, I think the extent of the data collection that many companies engage in is sketchy.

That aside, if a website runs analytics that you don't like, you can stop using it. There are usually alternatives, if you're willing to give up some convenience. But if your local ISPs are monitoring you, not using the internet isn't really an option these days.

I really wish we didn't have to treat our ISPs as adversaries in that regard, but we've been at that point for a while.
