It sure would be nice to live in a world where I don't have to put conscious effort into minimizing the surveillance teams' knowledge of me when I want to sit back and relax, let alone do something interesting. I'm old enough to remember when I wasn't constantly being micro-analyzed - at the time I didn't realize it was a luxurious lifestyle I led, but in retrospect I sure do miss it.
I know this site is full of ultra-capitalists, will you explain to me why I'm wrong for wanting to pay to not be tracked? Also, explain to me why the fruit of my existence is a resource to be harvested vs something I should be compensated for. I'm sure I'll be roasted super hard for this but very strong privacy laws seem to be a good idea - market effects be damned.
