    Banning things doesnt stop people from doing those things. You dont stop locking your bike/car just because theft is illegal. Other countries governments could still use it, criminals could use it, your own countries agencies could use it because they might be exempt from certain laws.

    Yes it should be outlawed but thqts only half the solution.

      True, but corporations are the most clear and immediate threat and making it sufficiently (!) expensive for them does discourage bad behaviour.

        it does not discourage anything. illegally designed cookie notices? the dozen tracking providers on all the websites? digital public passport passes that track your habits, but never told you about it, not even at purchase?
