That assumes that democracy even continues to work after the Nth time. Eventually, like all tinpot dictatorships, they'll just force the issue and you'll get it anyway. IMO, there is only a faint shadow of democracy left in the world. Your vote really doesn't matter. In this case, enough people made noise the demons will go back into their lair for another year or more before fielding it again. All it will take is one of those guys to realize they don't really have to listen to anyone to get what they want. This is the genesis of the 5 eyes, and it will be the genesis of modern AI-driven surveillance like OP's link.
The actual solution is to use devices obeying the user and not corporations. My GNU/Linux phone doesn't collect any data on me and nobody can force anyone to get it.
I worry that at some point people will grow too weary to nip it in the bud.
