> Tracking should be STRICTLY illegal

And yet, the opposite is happening. Government agencies are happy to tap into user data. And sometimes it is mandatory to keep data depending on what you are doing and your country legislation.

AFAIK the US is among the countries where you have the least such requirements, but there are still some sectors where logging is mandatory, like financial services. Many other first world countries (never mind dictatorships) require ISPs to keep data for a year or more.
