You make some valid points; I would disagree with the term "privacy fanatics", though. Privacy is a human right, and you seem to be putting the burden on the user to protect it, rather than on the companies to stop abusing it. We

Honest question: As a company, would you think "I don't care about the users' privacy, I want a marketing company that gives me as much of my target audience as possible"? Would you care how that marketing company got th

This is a good idea. I'm assuming you're in the US; in Europe, how to talk to people who are not "privacy-inclined", and who think GDPR was the silver bullet that automagically stopped all privacy abuse by each and every
