I totally disagree, obviously. :)

At least in this situation, you have a mechanism to opt out if you pick up a VPN and disrupt traffic injection.

Your only solution with companies like google & facebook is not to play.

I agree that it is disappointing that the laymen isn't going to be able to disrupt this traffic injection. We are already so deeply into a privacy dystopia that I think think you're focusing on the wrong fight. Some of the most successful companies have more users than customers. They are using TLS to avoid MITM attacks between the client & their infrastructure, but then harvesting data & injecting traffic till the cows come home.

Arguing for other mechanisms to disrupt carrier traffic injection is in essence an argument for defending the privacy invasive business cases of google & facebook.
