> How about freedom of association and freedom to contract

How free are you when one of the parties is naive (in the context of the contract) and has little power, and the other party has the interest, the means and the power to force an unfair contract?

Freedom of association implies the freedom to NOT associate. Yet non-Facebook users are tracked by Facebook, without their consent.

Laws like GDPR are needed to help protect individuals from powerful interests.
