You can actually opt out of this. Vote for politicians that want to regulate this into illegality.
It’s very tempting to impose our own personal truths to everybody else’s via politics, but that’s a quite close approach to totalitarianism.

"Regulation is totalitarianism" is a take that's too hot for me today.
Because there is no competition in the marketplace based on privacy, and if I want to use the services my friends/family/employer use, then I'm forced to give up my privacy.
The free market has never and will never solve a problem like this. The only thing that ever has is regulation and this is a textbook case of what regulation is for.
The parliament has more than one politician and the advertising companies pay better. To opt out of it you need to put politicians in jail for conflict of interest and bribes and make campains against big tech (which could lead to your "suicide). Good luck with that.
Politicians should be jailed, both on the legislative and executive side, including Presidents, if they ignore the law. France is showing this once again with hopeful Marine Le Pen and former president Sarkozy, together with dozens of their associates.
