How about rephrasing this to: all data tracking that involves sharing a user’s data with third parties is bad and should be outlawed

Using user’s data within the confines of a web app is usually OK so we can put just small much smaller guardrails up to keep companies respecting the public good.

I generally just don’t like my data shared with third parties. A single web site can literally pass your data on to hundreds of companies (as discussed in the book on Surveillance Capitalism).
