Re: FFS

Users might even opt in to a system like that....

Are you sure? If you inform the user properly about the consequences and give the default option "none of the above" (i.e. opt out), what chance do you have that anyone would want to opt in?

Honesty is one thing the advertising branch does practice. They would expose their creepiness if they did and nearly everybody would run away fast. The (targeted) advertising branch is using you to push and sell more stuff nobody wants or needs and effectively promotes destructive consumerism. Do we need more wolf disguised in sheep's skin?
