Please. There is no core privacy premise of the internet. The core premise of the internet is one protocol to deliver meshed knowledge to any computer. And the commercial possibilities of the internet are what have underwritten the growth of the network.
Reaction like this one make me think: entitled.
But they also make me think: unrealistic. How much should hypertargeted ads really bother us? Call me when they are using my bank account and medical records to show me ads. Not my browsing history, over whose exposure I have complete control, and which doesn't really expose very much about me or my family.

We have laws and cultural norms for this sort of thing, and it's not at all entitled or unrealistic to suggest that those tools be used to curtail a rather parasitic situation such as this.
