"If the private sector can design websites that track our every move, that come up with suggestions for goods before we realise we want them"
These suggestions generally fall into two groups:
- stuff we just bought so don't need to buy again
- stuff we don't and won't want which is not quite the same as saying they're suggesting them before we realise we want but the difference might not be clear to an easily confused person
On the whole it doesn't put the private sector into that brilliant a light.
