My main point was against the "sell their data to advertisers ".
I know a bit or two about big advertisers, and I can absolutely guarantee that they have no clue what to do with said data anyway.
What their marketing departments ultimately want is "pls show our ads to affluent people who will buy our product, thank you, and we will go out and have a cocktail or two in a trendy bar near our HQ". You can give them huge dataset about people and they will have problems opening it, because powerpoint would not recognize the file extension.

- nopriorarrests 8y agonot being a US citizen, I don't have one, so I can't give you one, I just lack it. But come on, do you really tell me that _advertisers_ have your SSN? Seriously, all that advertisers can know about you is that some random cookie bought some stuff (may be periodically). Reinstall your PC or just clear cookies, boom, and their data is worthless. This will not work with amazon.com, since you have to log in to buy something, but with advertisers on any Cande Nast property it will.
