Well, for example, I've heard more than one person say things along the lines of, "If I'm going to see ads, I would rather see relevant ones than irrelevant ones."

But more importantly, this isn't a binary flag. People might want to be tracked, they might want not to be tracked, or — most likely in my opinion — they might not give two hoots. Similarly, when people walk into an physical place, they might want to be looked at, they might not want to be looked at, or they might not be particularly concerned with whether anyone in particular is looking at them.

That's nonsense used to justify invasive and immoral tracking, nothing less.
