My default is that a thing is ok, unless there is a good argument that it causes harm or violates some principle I believe in.
But I can paint a more specific picture. I don't think any of that tracking harms the user, and on the contrary it makes ads and products better. Unlike Google and most of the world, I also don't believe the data "belongs" to the user.
If you go to a website, the website owner should be allowed to tell anyone that you went there. I believe this should be protected speech, just as it would be protected speech if I saw you walk into my physical store and I sold that information to a third party.
I believe this because I think the world would be worse without personalized ads, and because banning it violates my moral principles regarding speech.
- oakpond 5y agoIf someone created a platform that buys every available bit of data from Google about you in real-time and visualized that on a website in real-time, would you be OK with that? Suppose you would be OK with that, do you believe that Google should pay you for collecting that data?
