This has always been my take on the privacy issue as well as the related advertising issue. People freely connect to and send data to companies servers and then get mad that the company has and uses the data? What? People send requests to servers saying "send me whatever it is you have sitting in this location" then get mad when the company dared have a link to an advertisement sitting on their own damn server? What? You're the one that asked for it! You didn't even have to do anything with it! You could be running an ad blocker, left the ad link as a link, and consumed the content you want which the company still sent you simply because you asked for it! How cool is that? Free fucking data from someone's computer when they don't even know or have business with you.
But no! Apparently if you blindly connect to other people's servers, send them all of your personal details, ask them to send you effectively whatever they feel like, and then you executive that code indiscriminately, it's on them! Fucking ridiculous.
