All HN useds already realize this. If this by it self is a reason not to use a service, very few sites can be used.

- heroprotagonist 10y agoWhile there is some truth in that, it feels a little hyperbolic. Not all websites are equally abusive of their users. They don't all run their own tracking beacons or store, extrapolate and sell the same depth and quantity of personal information.
- hanspeter 10y agoNot all but most of the major sites. I'd expect all of the top 25 sites on Alexa to be equally abusive with the exception of Wikipedia. The difference between most sites (excl. Google) and Facebook is that Facebook have more users and more usage. They're not more abusive, their tracking just reaches more users. And please don't propagate the false notion that Facebook sell personal information.
