Law enforcement is exempt from GDPR and other online privacy acts and we all know how much intelligence agencies know. The people who it matters if they track you are still tracking you. All that changed is it's harder to make money from ads and it's more expensive and dangerous to run your own web service.

Not true; a substantial part of the Schrems II decision was about how the GDPR applies not only to law enforcement, but also national security surveillance. See eg ‘European Essential Guarantees.’
