All of these privacy arguments seem a little silly to me given that you have no privacy anyhow. The site is getting an IP address and a browser fingerprint, and that’s enough to uniquely identify a person in most cases.
- mingus88 2y agoAs soon as you have to provide an ID or a credit card to access a site, we’re talking about PII which is a whole different ballgame for privacy.

Perhaps in some imaginary idealized version of the internet you can just browse sites without it going on your permanent record, but this hasn't been true for a number of years.
