I agree. They should undo the law that created an artificial need.
- ben_w 4y agoIt wasn't a law which created that need: many people don't want to be tracked even if there wasn't a law that banned you from doing so. Normal people find it creepy and weird if someone (or something) knows too much. For example, I know a person who posted a photo of signpost on social media and explicitly challenged their friends to guess where they were, and even then they were disturbed when I posted a google street view link to that exact signpost 30 minutes later. Showing them that Amazon searches for things they would not otherwise even look at resulted in adverts (for the specific product they looked at) appearing a few weeks later, was also something they found disturbing. (As Amazon didn't get their explicit and meaningful consent for this use of their data, I assume they no longer do this, but I can't tell given my ad blockers).
