Asking how many ppl are opposed to tracking is a silly question that won’t get you anywhere — it’s answer in a vacuum doesn’t make sense as it needs to be contextualized. “Are you ok with google seeing your IP so they can sell you ads to give you free YouTube” is an example of context where people see trade offs. Most people won’t understand the full spectrum of what’s going on, and if it all in the end results in just ads, many are fine with that as long as they’re getting free stuff with it.
The bigger questions on societal level trade offs shouldn’t be answered by lay people but rather regulation in the name of public interest.
- bogwog 5y agoGoogle doesn't just "see your IP" to sell you ads. They collect a lot more information about you than that, so I don't know why you consider your question to be more useful than the one you quoted. Neither one provides enough information for the average person to give an informed answer. They're both equally biased/leading, but in opposite directions.
