Not exactly, but the sort of "I don't have to outrun the bear" mantra only works if the bear is going to stop at the first person. I'm certainly not saying to give up, but you need to prepare for things to get worse whether or not you participate in causing things to get worse. It's not reasonable to say you did your part to not be tracked and therefore you're guarded against Google taking over the world or whatever.
Trying to effect change on this is trying to engage in self-preservation, though. What's the alternative? To just lie down and die?
