I'm not sure how telling Facebook (or Google) "you can't spy on people just because a page has a link to your widget" is even remotely the same as gaming an election?
- anticristi 6y agoWould this have implications on Google Analytics? I didn't agree to them knowing what URLs I visit.
- alistairSH 6y agoPossibly. I'm ok with that too. If a site wants that info they can pay for it (vs trading their own visitor's data for the service). IANAL, IMO, etc.... in terms of how I feel personally about the use of my browsing data, a lot depends on the scope of what/where/who I'm visiting. I don't have much expectation of privacy for simply visiting a site - some unique tracking ID gets passed around, ok, I can live with that. To me, the meatspace equivalent is a neighbor telling another neighbor they saw me at the supermarket. But, once I start actively engaging on the site - buying things, entering PII for some reason, posting in a forum - my expectation of privacy is higher (even if the reality isn't the case). I don't want that info traded without my consent.
