Some of us care about tracking and are unwilling to pay what we consider a massive price, far above the monetary value of those services. Yet, we are unable to opt for the paid, no-tracking alternative, and indeed, we are being forced to pay the onerous data price even by companies we have no contractual dealings with and that provide us no services whatsoever.

I mean look at how you're talking about these companies, if you view them as such villainous entities don't even bother with them right?

- BoorishBears 8y agoGoogle can't magic its trackers into a site. Facebook login doesn't integrate itself into your HTML the moment you upload it to the WWW. Don't use sites that use them then.
