I am not sure what the point of this is.

If they are exporting data for sale, we can tax the value they are selling it at. If they are using data to generate ad revenue, we can tax that.

If we want to enforce privacy standards, we can make liability laws around sharing that data with third parties; we can make it harder for users to consent to the sharing of data by making users decide and approve on a case by case basis.

There is so much to do before exotic schemes, for instance way less intrusive things like making it so privacy policies legally survive bankruptcy.
