If I want to order from a webshop that relies on googleapis.com or uses recaptcha, how much choice do I realistically have? How aware of webbugs (Facebook and Twitter logo's, for example) do you think the average Internet user is?
You have plenty of choice. Your choice might have consequences but you still have the choice. Most users are fully aware of how tracked the free internet is.
That reminds me of some earlier definitions of rape where the victim is required to have fought against the rapist. Otherwise, they had “chosen” to yield to the perpetrator.
