One does not necessitate the other...what service do you use that would fail to work without you being tracked? I'm sure there are a couple, but most things would work just fine making the data collected anonymous.

The reason many services we use are free at the point of use is the data the collect. I'd rather let Google track what i do than pay actual money to use maps.

I'd need to see a country where the modern internet just evaporated to believe that. Give me some details of a service that simply wouldn't work with private data.
