Firstly, I’m not against privacy or anything, just ignorant. I do try to stay pretty private despite that.

I wanted to know what type of info (Corporations? Governments? Websites??) Typically get from you and how they use it and how that affects me.

    They are using the info to engineer more efficient ways to separate you from your money. It’s not a benefit to you in any way.

        Hey guys, this right here is a super valuable point to address and really strikes straight to the heart of the ability of a system like this to give the illusion of choice. People absolutely will still think, despite this, they are still in control and we need to address it not dismiss it.

        I’m undoing the downvote on this comment, it absolutely is a big part of the conversation, even if you think it’s naive.
