Ok well I'm not going to read like 500 links posted with no context. The first one doesn't say anything about harm that I can see from my skimming, and the second one is the government paying the phone companies directly, which is concerning but it has nothing to do with tracking cookies or combining data sets. That's as far down as I went.

  Egyptian police use gay dating apps to identify 'criminals', tax dodgers are being identified by their lavish lifestyles on instagram. I don't think there was ever much doubt information can be used against you.

    And Egyptian police are getting that data via. tracking cookies tied together? Or just going to the dating app companies directly? If you're trying to convince people, saying, "it makes it easier to catch tax dodgers" is unlikely to be very effective. Also, catching tax dodgers on Instagram doesn't require tying together cookie data, does it? I mean tell me if I'm wrong and it does.
