No. When you visit your friends house, do you get to make the rules and tell them, what food you get for dinner, how you like your back rubbed, etc? No, if you don't like it, don't visit them. Forcing ridiculous laws on them does not lead to good.

The difference in your analogy is you know what your friend is doing. If you went to your friend's house and they secretly spied on you, you'd surely think less of them when/if you found out.

That doesn't mean it makes sense to enforce ridiculous regulation on all houses to catch that one friend in ten million.

The number of popular websites that now notify that they're tracking you across the Internet is more than 1 in 10 million. They don't have to show any banner if they're not tracking you.

When you visit your friend's house do they get to rape you when you walk in the door or are they expected to establish some sort of consent first?
