So they track your surfing habits, who gives a sh*t!
It's not like they're gonna kidnap you and harvest your vital organs!
Ain't any worse than junk mail in your mailbox or security cameras at the mall!

I don't know what's worse, internet tracking or the paranoia over it!

I wouldn't know about that. I don't do any banking online.

If they want to make more money by selling my personal data that belongs to me, then why should I be giving it to them for free? I mean, if it's worth so much money, then I think I'll keep it and just give them fake personal data instead. Why? Because I can, simple plain. 🤷‍♂️

I remember when i hadn't got a clue about internet security, didn't know what adware meant or what firewall was. Then came zonealarm free, adaware free, AVG / Avast free and along with advice from GRC.com and we all made our computers more secure(ish), now they do the same thing via our browsers and O.S. and we accept it !
