Well, browsing history or your Google searches can hardly be described as "accounting data". And I don't see any technical issue in outlawing software that collects such kind of data except when the user has signed a (physical) document stating that it's OK for her/him. Or something like that.
By the way: how can you regulate the "use" of data that are exploited for means that are only indirectly related to the data itself? For instance: data about your habits can be used to guess where you live, where you work, and (therefore) what your social status is. Based on such guess, someone can target specific ads at you. How, exactly, could you even know that such data exist, who has them, and what they are being used for? And if even you don't know, how can anyone detect an abusive use of data about you, and who did it?

Then you must be terribly upset over all the nasty things someone might be saying about you, three threads over? The possibility is there, we had better shut down MR right away! Why, your reputation could be getting ruined this very moment in some thread somewhere, we have to stop this uncontrolled posting!!

Oh, wait I get it, you must be a Moderator wannabe, or maybe just Canadian.
