I understand exactly what you mean. You don't, however.

You would also eliminate my ability to agree to the status quo. These are rights I have now. Legislation as you suggest would eliminate that freedom that I have.

You aren't enforcing privacy. You are removing choice and freedom. If anything, your legislation goes so far as to say I'm not allowed to trade my data for a service.

So, why do you feel it's okay to legislate away freedoms I have now?
