>>when something bad happens to someone, and the someone is aware of it Well I mean that's pretty straightforward, is it not? Someone who is in a coma is not aware of what's happening to them = ergo, no harm is being done, no? >>I'm claiming that nothing bad happens to you from information being traded about you Ok let me follow this for couple more seconds then - any information?

You said no one was ever harmed by online tracking - I disagree on that point.
