Because it's an invasion of privacy.
If you have a personal conversation to a friend about a party you had when you were five you don't expect to hear details referenced by a busker the next day at a park you frequent.
Edit: I was arguing with no one.
- stan_rogers 9y agoJust to clarify: "enamored of" is basically the same phrase as "in love with". You're agreeing with the parent post.
- downandout 9y agoIt's an invasion of privacy that you agree to and receive valuable services (for free) in return for. Don't want to be tracked? Don't use Google or Facebook. Problem solved.
- bobajeff 9y agoI'm pretty sure no one who uses Google or Facebook is presented with a dialog that says 'This service is free in exchange for your privacy. Do you agree?' Even if that were the case the fact that both of those services are monopolies means that the choice is essentially between using public utilities or becoming Amish.
