> It is already the case that for the most part whatever we do online is known by some third party entity. Online privacy is essentially dead and has been for many years. I’m not implying this is good or desirable but that it is just the reality of things. This is a very defeatist point of view. It is still possible to choose not to share the majority of your online activity with third parties. Online privacy is essentially dead for people who don't bother maintaining it. My online privacy is still largely intact, and I will do my best to keep it that way.
