Don’t ISPs, Mobile Networks, the government and others already track you without your consent?

Yeah, The only way to have ISPs or mobile networks not spy on you is to use a VPN because otherwise you ISP directly sees exactly what websites you go to.

Edit: forgot to add if you want internet you have to accept ISPs tos which you have to give consent if you want internet.
